What is Buccal Fat Pad Removal?

Buccal fat pad removal is a surgical procedure designed to slim and sculpt the facial profile by reducing excess fat in the cheeks. The size of the buccal fat pad varies by individual, contributing to the overall roundness of the face. By strategically removing a portion of the fat pad from within the mouth, we can achieve a more defined, structured facial appearance without external incisions.
