Buccal Fat Removal
Buccal fat is a natural pad of fat in the center of the cheeks, above the jaw and below the cheekbones. The size of the fat pad differs from one person to another. As a result, some people have a more prominent buccal fat pad which causes fuller cheeks that appear chubby. Sometimes a healthy diet, exercise and face yoga cannot resolve these problems, since it is not about being overweight. Most of the time, people who have rounder and chubby face have a fit body. So, the efficient way to achieve a less chubby and more chiseled look that matches the rest of the body is to get cheek reduction surgery.
What is Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal fat removal, also referred to as “bichectomy” and “cheek reduction”, has been a popular surgery in recent years. This surgery is designed to remove the excess buccal fat pad from the cheek area to create a slimmer facial appearance. To achieve the sculptured “model face”, most women and men prefer this procedure since the surgery has a huge impact on changing the face shape from rounder to heart or oval shape.
Who can get Buccal Fat Removal?
If you are unhappy with the look of your cheeks, unable to improve your facial appearance by losing weight, and prefer a “V” shape, buccal fat removal surgery can address your problems. Your face can appear much more slender and contoured. In order to avoid a gaunt appearance, the removal of the buccal fat pad is not recommended in some patients. During your consultation, your surgeon will decide whether this surgery is suitable for you or not. For instance, if you are over your 40s, bichectomy is probably not ideal for you. That being said, patients should be in good overall health and at their ideal weight. Also, being a non-smoker, or refraining from smoking for a few weeks is important.
Buccal Fat Removal Results and Recovery
The buccal fat removal procedure is performed under local anesthesia. This procedure is carried out through small incisions that are made inside the cheeks and removing fat pads takes approximately less than an hour. The surgery leaves no visible scar and sutures that are used to close the incisions are dissolvable. During the healing process, a liquid-based diet is recommended for several days. Patients can expect to return to work in 2-3 days. Recovery time depends on the patient’s anatomy and skin type. Yet, the results are permanent and appear gradually over as the swelling reduces.
