What is Buccal Fat Removal?

B uccal fat removal — often referred to as buccal lipectomy or cheek reduction — is a plastic surgery procedure to reduce fat deposits in the cheeks. Even with proper diet and exercise, many people may still feel that their face appears round, chubby, or bloated. Because exercise can’t target the cheeks, they often turn to surgical remedies to help slim their facial shape.

Fat can be deposited in the cheeks throughout our lives or due to lifestyle factors or genetics, and losing weight won’t always address these areas sufficiently. The buccal fat removal procedure works by surgically removing excess fat tissue in the buccal fat pad to alleviate a rounded facial appearance while maintaining a natural look.

What are the Benefits of Buccal Fat Removal?

The buccal fat removal treatment has been utilized to treat a variety of complaints about a person’s facial appearance. Patients seek out Dr. Hall for this procedure when they have issues like chubby cheeks or a bloated facial appearance.

While surgical, the buccal fat removal operation is considered a low-risk treatment and usually only creates a relatively minor inconvenience in the patient’s life. However, in Dr. Hall’s experience, results are typically long-lasting, and patients report a high level of satisfaction with their outcomes. Ultimately, when you look better, you feel better.

Buccal Fat Removal vs. Liposuction

L iposuction is a common choice for people who want to remove unwanted fat. However, liposuction is not generally recommended for use on the cheeks because there is a high risk of nerve damage. Instead, the buccal fat removal technique is precise enough to remove fat without endangering muscular or nervous function.

Your Buccal Fat Removal Procedure

S urgical procedures can call for significant disruptions in a patient’s daily routine. However, buccal fat removal treatments do not generally involve a lengthy downtime. Most procedures can be performed under local anesthetic in the office and takes less than an hour. That means you can most likely drive yourself home and be back to your life quickly.

While you won’t feel any discomfort other than an initial pinch, you can expect to be awake for the entire procedure. Dr. Hall uses the ProNox system to allow you to control the level of anesthesia during the procedure to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

The procedure begins with a small incision on the inside of your cheek. He then carefully bypasses the muscles in your cheek to gain access to the fat under your skin. A precise amount of this buccal fat is removed, and the remaining fat is cauterized into place. Sutures are then applied, and the procedure is repeated in both cheeks. There are no dressings to maintain, and no sign of you having had anything done other than a mild amount of swelling.

Buccal Fat Removal Recovery

Y ou can expect to recover quickly from your buccal fat removal surgery. You may experience some mild swelling and discomfort during the first few days, but most Knoxville buccal fat removal patients can return to work the day following the procedure.

It is important not to eat foods that are hard or pointy (like tortilla chips) for at least a week to prevent damaging the sutures while they are healing. You can typically resume normal activities after a week, but some people require as many as four months to heal fully. Fortunately, the slimmer face and healthier appearance desired are usually visible immediately after any swelling has subsided.
