What is Buccal Fat Removal?

Buccal fat removal, often referred to as a "cheek reduction" procedure, is a surgical technique designed to address excess fat in the lower cheeks. This minimally invasive procedure is a solution for those seeking a more defined and sculpted facial appearance. By carefully removing excess buccal fat pads from the cheeks, this surgery can enhance facial contours, resulting in a slimmer, more chiseled look. Buccal fat removal is an excellent option for individuals who find that their cheeks have a fuller, rounder appearance due to genetics or aging, and desire a more sculpted and refined facial contour.

Is Buccal Fat Removal Right for Me?

If you find yourself with round or overly full cheeks that persist despite efforts like weight loss, buccal fat removal may be the solution you've been searching for. This procedure is ideal for those looking to refine and sculpt their facial appearance, achieving a more contoured look.

To determine if buccal fat removal aligns with your unique goals and anatomy, we recommend a consultation with Dr. Micallef or Dr. Ortiz. They can assess your specific needs and provide personalized recommendations for achieving your desired facial appearance.

The Buccal Fat Removal Process - What to Expect

During this initial consultation, Dr. Micallef or Dr. Ortiz will thoroughly assess your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if buccal fat removal aligns with your needs.

During the procedure itself, Dr. Micallef or Dr. Ortiz will administer local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the process. Small, discreet incisions will be carefully made inside your cheeks, near the back of your molars. Through these incisions, excess buccal fat pads will be gently removed, allowing for a more refined and contoured facial appearance. The incisions will then be meticulously closed with dissolvable sutures, leaving no visible external scars.

Following the procedure, you can expect a swift recovery, with minimal discomfort and swelling. Most patients can resume their regular activities within just a few days. As the initial swelling subsides, you'll begin to see the beautiful results of your refined facial contours. These results will continue to improve and become more pronounced in the weeks that follow, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and confident in your appearance.

Buccal Fat Removal Recovery

Following your buccal fat removal in San Antonio at Micallef Plastic Surgery, you can anticipate a relatively straightforward and swift recovery. In the immediate aftermath, some mild swelling and discomfort may be present, but these effects typically subside within a few days.

You'll be pleased to know that most patients can return to their regular activities, including work and daily routines, within a week or less. While you can gradually resume your typical activities, it's advisable to avoid strenuous physical exertion for at least a week to ensure a smooth healing process.

The healing timeline may vary from person to person, but you can expect a gradual improvement in your facial appearance as the initial swelling diminishes. Initial results may become noticeable within a few weeks, with your final outcome becoming increasingly apparent over the following months.

The primary objective of buccal fat removal is to achieve a more sculpted and harmonious facial appearance. As the swelling continues to recede, you'll see the beautifully refined contours of your cheeks, enhancing your overall facial aesthetics. These results are typically long-lasting, offering you enduring satisfaction with your rejuvenated facial appearance.
