Buccal Fat Removal

Buccal fat removal, or cheek reduction surgery, is the removal of the buccal fat pad (the naturally occurring fat deposit in the lower cheeks). This procedure aims to slim the cheeks, accentuate the cheekbones, and create a more contoured facial profile. Performed through small incisions inside the mouth, the surgery leaves no visible scars and typically requires minimal downtime. It’s ideal for those seeking a more defined appearance without undergoing extensive surgery.

When it comes to our buccal fat removal, Houston candidates would ideally be an adult who:

• Is in good overall health and maintains a stable weight.
• Has full, round cheeks and desires a more contoured facial appearance.
• Does not smoke (or is willing to quit smoking before and after the procedure).
• Has realistic expectations.

This procedure may not be suitable for you if you have a naturally thin face, as it could result in a gaunt appearance over time. Your thorough consultation will help determine if buccal fat removal is beneficial for you.

Initial results are noticeable once the swelling subsides. Final results become more apparent over the next few months as the cheeks settle into their new contours. You’ll notice slimmer, more defined cheeks, enhanced cheekbone prominence, and a more balanced, harmonious facial appearance.

Results are permanent (just make sure you maintain a stable weight).
