Buccal Fat Removal, also known as cheek reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat pads from the cheeks. This surgery aims to slim down the face, enhancing facial contours for a more defined appearance. During the procedure, a small incision is made inside the mouth on each side, near the upper molars. The surgeon then carefully removes the buccal fat pads located deep in the cheek. The incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures. The entire procedure would take about an hour and is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, making it minimally invasive with a relatively quick recovery time.
