Buccal Fat Removal
Buccal fat removal is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at contouring the face by reducing the fullness of the cheeks. This procedure involves the careful removal of the buccal fat pads, resulting in a more defined and sculpted facial appearance. Ideal for individuals seeking to enhance their cheekbones and achieve a slimmer facial profile, buccal fat removal can provide a refined and elegant look, boosting both appearance and confidence.
The process
01. Personalized Consultation
The process begins with a thorough consultation to understand your goals and assess your facial structure. Our surgeons will discuss the procedure and develop a personalized plan to achieve the desired contour and definition for your face.
02. Preparing for Surgery
Preparation for your buccal fat removal includes detailed pre-surgery instructions, dietary guidelines, and any necessary medications. Our team ensures you are fully prepared for a safe and successful surgical experience.
03. The Buccal Fat Removal Procedure
During the procedure, you may be given anti-anxiety medication to help you relax. Local anesthesia is injected inside the cheek. Dr. Song then makes a precise incision inside your cheek to expose and remove the buccal fat pad, creating a sculpted and defined appearance. The incision is closed with dissolvable sutures, ensuring no visible scarring.
04. Recovery & After Care
After the surgery, you will receive detailed post-operative instructions for a smooth recovery. Patients are advised to avoid interfering with the sutures and to follow a liquid or soft diet for a few days. Dr. Song may prescribe a mouth rinse to reduce the risk of infection. Swelling will subside over several weeks, revealing a slimmer and more contoured facial shape.
