Removal of Bichat Fat Pads
Buccal fat removal is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing the volume of fat tissue located in the cheeks. This procedure involves the precise removal of excess fat through a small incision inside the oral cavity, allowing for the contouring of the face without visible scars. By reducing fat in the cheeks, the face gains a more slender and defined appearance, highlighting the cheekbones and giving the face a more pronounced oval shape.
This procedure is particularly recommended for individuals with naturally fuller cheeks, which can make the face appear rounder or “chubby.” Buccal fat removal allows for a subtle yet noticeable slimming of the face without the need for more invasive procedures. The results are permanent since the removed fat tissue does not grow back. Moreover, the reduction of fat pads not only impacts the aesthetics of the face but can also help improve cheek symmetry. However, it is important for patients to have realistic expectations regarding the results, as this procedure does not drastically alter facial features but gently enhances their contours.
