Buccal Fat Removal

What is buccal fat removal used for?

Buccal fat removal, also known as bichectomy, is a surgical procedure that removes part of the buccal fat pads located in the cheeks. It is primarily performed to define the facial contour and create a more sculpted appearance of the cheeks.

What are the potential benefits of buccal fat removal?

It may help reduce the appearance of cheek fullness and enhance the definition of the cheekbones and facial contour in selected patients. Results depend on facial anatomy, the amount of facial fat, and each patient's individual characteristics.

Who is a candidate for buccal fat removal?

Buccal fat removal should be recommended after a professional evaluation, particularly for people with prominent cheek fullness who want a more defined facial appearance. Not everyone is a suitable candidate, and removing too much fat may affect facial appearance over time.

What specialist should you see for buccal fat removal?

A plastic surgeon, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, or dentist with training in oral and maxillofacial surgery can evaluate facial anatomy and determine whether buccal fat removal is appropriate.
