Some people have naturally fuller cheeks, even if they are at a healthy weight. While round cheeks can look youthful, some may feel they make the face look less defined or hide the cheekbones and jawline.
At Aesthetics by King’s College Hospital London – Dubai, buccal fat removal is performed for patients who would like more definition through the cheeks and jawline. By reducing the buccal fat pads, the procedure can bring greater balance to the face while preserving your natural features.
Dr. Dragana Spica, our Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon, carefully plans each procedure. She looks at your facial proportions, skin quality, and long-term goals before recommending any treatment.
What is buccal fat removal?
Buccal fat removal, sometimes called buccal lipectomy or cheek reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that removes some of the buccal fat pads deep in the lower cheeks. This can help add definition to the mid-face, making the cheekbones and jawline stand out more.
The procedure may improve:
- Naturally full or rounded cheeks
- A “baby face” appearance
- Facial definition
- Overall facial balance
- The transition between the cheeks and jawline
At your consultation, Dr. Dragana Spica will look at your facial structure and talk with you about whether buccal fat removal is the best option for your goals.
What happens during the procedure?
Because everyone’s face is unique, the surgery is planned based on your own anatomy instead of using a standard method.
The procedure is done through small cuts inside your mouth, so there are no visible scars on your face. Dr. Dragana Spica removes just the right amount of buccal fat to keep your facial balance. The stitches dissolve on their own.
Some people choose buccal fat removal on its own, while others combine it with treatments like chin liposuction, facelift surgery, or facial fat transfer for more complete facial contouring.
What is recovery like?
Most people have mild swelling during the first week after surgery. Your cheeks will slowly settle into their new shape over the next few weeks.
Your recovery may include:
- Eating soft foods for the first few days
- Keeping the mouth clean as advised
- Avoiding strenuous exercise for a short period
- Attending follow-up appointments
While the swelling goes down fairly quickly, your final facial shape will keep improving as you heal.
