Buccal Fat Removal Surgery
Buccal fat pad removal surgery is a popular cosmetic procedure aimed at addressing the issue of excess or sagging cheeks caused by the accumulation of fat in the buccal area. Many people who experience a fuller face or pronounced cheeks often opt for fat injection procedures to dissolve the fat. However, another widely recognized option is buccal fat pad excision surgery, which involves the permanent removal of the fat pads.
What is Buccal Fat Pad Removal Surgery?
The buccal fat pad is a naturally occurring mass of fat located deep between the muscles used for chewing. The amount of this fat varies among individuals. Buccal fat pad removal surgery is a procedure designed to reduce the fullness of the cheeks by permanently removing the fat from this area. This surgery is particularly beneficial for individuals who have a genetically larger buccal fat pad or face shape and are seeking a more sculpted and contoured facial appearance.
Advantages of Buccal Fat Pad Removal
- Permanent Solution: Unlike non-surgical fat dissolving methods like liposuction or fat injections, which may require repeat procedures every 1 to 3 months, buccal fat pad removal offers a permanent solution. Once the fat is surgically removed, it will not regenerate.
- Natural and Effective Results: It provides long-lasting, natural results, significantly reducing the appearance of “chubby” or “full” cheeks. This is often a more reliable and noticeable result compared to diet or exercise.
- Minimal Scar Visibility: The incision is small, typically less than 2 centimeters, and made inside the mouth, so the scars are not visible. Healing is quick and usually requires minimal downtime.
- Improved Facial Contour: The surgery helps create a more youthful and contoured facial appearance, enhancing the overall facial structure and boosting self-confidence.
- No Need for Repeat Treatments: Unlike non-invasive methods, you will not need to undergo the procedure repeatedly, saving time and cost in the long term.
Key Features of Buccal Fat Pad Removal Surgery
- Permanent Fat Removal: The procedure removes fat from the buccal area permanently, unlike superficial fat removal methods which only target excess fat beneath the skin.
- Quick Recovery: With a small incision made inside the mouth, recovery time is usually fast, and the incision is virtually undetectable.
- Clearer and More Defined Cheeks: The reduction of buccal fat pads provides immediate, noticeable results, especially for those with a naturally round or fuller face shape.
Post-Operative Care
1-3 Days Post-Surgery:
- Apply cold compresses to the areas around the eyes and cheeks for the first 3 days. Afterward, switch to warm compresses for the next 3 days.
- The compression should be applied at six key points around the face: both sides of the eyes, both sides of the cheeks, and between the eyebrows.
- Keep your head elevated when resting, and avoid sleeping on your side for at least a month.
Dietary Restrictions:
- Avoid consuming spicy, sour, or highly acidic foods during the first month.
- Refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking for at least one month post-surgery.
- Avoid picking or scratching the nose if you feel itchiness. Use a cotton swab with saline solution to gently clean the area.
