The buccal fat is located in the cheek. The Bite line and right behind the bite line in your cheek is the Bucks innate or muscle, which is one of the muscles that help you with chewing your food and moving your mouth around and speaking etcetera. We at DR. Karishma Aesthetics extract the buccal fat and it really changes the shape of the face a lot. So, that's why people do it. There are certain patients that just have an excessively large buccal fat pad and it contributes to making their face look very round with the lack of definition, which prevents them from having an aesthetic definitive hollow, or a nice face contour. So patients, who have a large buccal fat pad would benefit from having it removed because it gives their face more contour and more definition.

A buccal fat removal surgery or buccal lipectomy removes the buccal fat pad from cheek hollow areas and helps a lot in defining the aesthetic facial profile.

Cheek removal surgery or buccal fat extraction is typically not performed in people with thin and narrow faces as results may leave you looking gaunt, worn, or older than your actual age.

The top 5 Things you should Know about Buccal Fat Removal are described below: -

1.    Surgery is the only way to remove the Buccal fat pad.

Buccal fat removal, which is also known as buccal lipectomy, is the only permanent way to remove fat from cheek hollow areas and give you an aesthetic facial profile. There is no way to specifically target fat in your face without surgery; however, it is advised to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly to avoid cheek fat depositions. But, with the advanced method of cheek lipectomy, the buccal fat pads are removed easily without any external incisions on the face that gives you the best results with very little downtime and little recovery. Since the incision is made inside the mouth, it is gently teased out.

2.    Buccal fat removal and facelift surgery can be done at the same time.

Yes, buccal fat removal can be done at the same time as a facelift using the same incisions. In this way, you’ll get a dual benefit of facelift surgery along with a slim cheek, as well as the reduction in facial aging signs at the same time. This surgery has a very high satisfaction rate without any discomforts or hassle if performed by a trained board-certified plastic surgeon.

3.    The results are more accentuated with a slimmer cheek make you feel naturally contoured.

And, this is the beauty of cheek reduction surgery that cheeks gradually contour to their new appearance. The cheeks look less chubby in post-op results. Initially, the results may be obscured due to post-op swelling that takes several months for you to see the final results. But, every patient has a different timeline to experience the final result since it is a highly customized procedure. Thus, consult your plastic surgeon to know more about surgery concerning your problem state, as well as your anatomical and physiological profile.

4.    It improves facial features by improving V-line facial shape.

Removing/excising buccal fat has a key role in defining your facial profile as it improves V-line facial shape, which is considered a photogenic facial shape. Buccal fat removal surgery is mostly sought by actresses and models, or those who are in the entertainment industry. But, nowadays every woman has become concerned about their beauty and facial feature and it is done for everyone who needs it most in order to improve their photogenic facial profile. Cheek reduction surgery removes excess fat from the lower cheek as the fat deposition in the lower cheek detracts the V-line of facial shape by making the mid-face wider. However, buccal fat removal plays a significant role in improving the photogenic facial profile.

5.    The Recovery time usually takes 1-2 weeks.

The recovery time of buccal fat removal surgery usually takes one to two weeks that may vary from patient to patient. The recovery period should be followed by special instructions given by your plastic surgeon. You’re advised to sleep in an elevated position post-op and mouth rinse that are required to continue until the complete healing is achieved. You’ll be able to see preliminary results within a week or two, but the final result will take anywhere from 2-4 months that may again vary from one patient to another.
