Buccal fat removal is a relatively simple and straightforward procedure, yet it requires the skill and precision of an experienced surgeon to ensure optimal results. At CosmetiCare, we begin with a thorough consultation to assess your facial structure and discuss your aesthetic goals. This personalized approach allows us to tailor the procedure to your unique needs, ensuring that the results enhance your natural beauty. On the day of the procedure, you will be comfortably settled in one of our state-of-the-art surgical suites. Buccal fat removal is typically performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the area and keeps you comfortable throughout the process. Sometimes, mild sedation may be used depending on your preference and the surgeon’s recommendation.
The procedure begins with a small incision inside the mouth, located in the inner lining of your cheeks. This approach ensures that there is no visible scarring on the outside of the face. Your surgeon carefully locates the buccal fat pads through this incision and gently removes a portion to achieve the desired contour. The amount of fat removed is meticulously controlled to create a balanced, symmetrical appearance that complements your facial features. After the fat is removed, the incisions inside the mouth are closed with dissolvable sutures. Because the incisions are so small and inside the mouth, the healing process is usually rapid and discreet. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour, making it a convenient option for those seeking significant facial enhancement without requiring a lengthy surgery.
