Buccal Fat Removal Boston

What Is Buccal Fat Pad Removal?

As we age, most people typically lose volume in the face. However, some people carry the appearance of “chubby” or rounded cheeks throughout their adult life. Removing excess fat tissue from the buccal fat pad will slim the lower part of the face, resulting in better facial contouring and more definition. In women, it creates better-contoured cheekbones. In men, Cheek fat reduction can create a more chiseled appearance to the face and jawline. Buccal fat reduction in Boston has become a popular option for those seeking a refined and balanced facial profile.

Our Buccal Fat Removal Procedure

Buccal fat pad removal, reduction is a safe and effective procedure which can be performed in the office under local anesthesia. Dr. Numa will make small incisions on the internal surface of each cheek. Excess fat tissue is then removed through each incision and dissolvable sutures are placed inside the mouth. Because the procedure is performed inside the mouth, there will be no visible exterior scars. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours.

Following the procedure, some patients experience mild discomfort and swelling which can be alleviated with ice and over the counter pain medication. These symptoms typically subside within the first few days. While many people return to work the next day, exercise and vigorous activity should be avoided for one week, at which time normal activities can resume.

Candidates for buccal fat pad removal or reduction should be in good general health and at a stable weight. This procedure is ideal for those who dislike the fullness of their cheeks, have a rounder face, or experience pseudo herniation, a small rounded fat mass in the cheek due to a weak buccal fat pad.
