Buccal Fat Removal - Cheek Reduction Surgery In A Nutshell

The bulging fat in the middle and lower part of your cheek is known as buccal fat. It's what makes your cheeks chubby and your face round. The size of your buccal fat has a direct impact on your facial shape. Everyone has a buccal fat pad. However, the size can vary from person to person, making each person's facial shape unique. A larger amount of buccal fat will make your face appear round or 'chubby.' You may also have the impression that you have a 'babyface.' There is nothing wrong with having more buccal fat. If you want to remove some of the buccal fat, you should consult with the best plastic surgeon in Mumbai.

Buccal fat removal surgery is also referred to as cheek reduction surgery in Mumbai. The plastic surgeon will use surgery to remove the round buccal fat and thin it out to enhance your facial angles and cut. Because this is not a major surgery, it can be performed as an outpatient procedure at our clinic. It can also be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as:

Facelift

Chin augmentations

Rhinoplasty

Lip enhancement

Botox injections or fillers

If you look around, you will notice a significant increase in the number of people undergoing plastic surgery, particularly nose lifts and buccal fat removal. With facial angles and cuts, this process enhances your appearance and makes you look more glamorous.

What qualifies you as a candidate?

We will determine whether you are a good candidate for cosmetic surgery before proceeding. We will examine your face and feel the buccal fat pad for this. You are a good candidate if and only if:

You have a round face.

You have chubby or full cheeks.

You have extra buccal fat that you can get rid of.

You want to have a slim face with hollow cheeks.

If you've always wanted a slimmer face, you're an excellent candidate for buccal fat removal surgery in Mumbai.

What should you do before the procedure?

You must first come to our clinic for a consultation. We will try to assess your facial goals and expectations during this consultation. We will determine whether the buccal fat pad is excessive and can be safely removed. You may speak about previous procedures and your current health status.

Following this meeting, our cosmetic plastic surgeon will determine the best surgical approach to achieve the best results for you. There is no need for any additional testing.

Procedure for Reducing Cheek Size

Buccal Fat Pad removal is a straightforward procedure. It is performed as an outpatient procedure, so you will not be admitted. The best part is that we do it from within the mouth, so no marks, scars, or stitches are left! A small injection of local anaesthetic is used to numb the area first. A small cut on the inside of the mouth is used to trim the fat pad on both sides as needed. The procedure is completed with a single dissolvable stitch on the inside. You will be able to leave the hospital immediately following the surgery.

Risks of Buccal Fat Removal

This procedure is straightforward and extremely safe. The risks are minimal to none, such as swelling, infection, bleeding, or numbness. We will go over these with you during your consultation.

Recovery and Results of Buccal Fat Pad Reduction

Our unique technique and surgical skill allow for a quick and painless recovery with minimal swelling. You can immediately resume your normal activities. For a few days, avoid hard foods and vigorous chewing. For a quick recovery, you may require some mild pain relievers and antibiotics. The swelling goes away quickly. The slim cheeks and jawline are visible and continue to improve over time. The reduction is permanent and does not regenerate over time.

You will no longer have a rounded face. Instead, it will appear slim and sculpted, giving you a more fit and glamorous appearance!
