Buccal Fat Pad Removal in Anaheim Hills, CA

Buccal fat pad removal surgery has seen a surge in popularity in recent years, with many individuals seeking to achieve a more sculpted and defined facial appearance. Buccal fat pad removal targets the fat located between your cheekbones and jawline to create a more sculpted look, giving you a sleek facial definition. Our surgical team at Motakef Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery performs this surgical technique to reduce the volume of fat in the cheeks. These natural pockets of fat located deep in the lower part of your cheeks vary in size from person to person to give the face a rounder or fuller appearance. Removing the fat pads contours the face to be more angular and achieve a refined look. This procedure is permanent, meaning once the buccal fat pads are removed, they do not grow back. As a result, patients experience long-lasting results that will continue to enhance their facial structure over time without the need for ongoing treatments. Contact our team at our Anaheim Hills, CA practice for information and guidance about our surgical technique.

Choosing buccal fat pad removal surgery offers many aesthetic and practical benefits. This procedure can help individuals reduce cheek fullness and achieve a more contoured and defined facial shape that has not been possible with diet and exercise alone. Benefits you may see with buccal fat pad removal include:

• A slimmer, more sculpted facial profile
• Improved definition between the cheekbones and jawline
• Permanent results with no need for follow-up treatments
• No visible scarring, as the incisions are inside the mouth
• Minimal downtime and a relatively quick recovery period
• A more youthful and refined appearance

The buccal fat pad removal technique is performed surgically with a small incision inside the mouth, near the upper molars, which allows our surgeon access to the buccal fat pads. This approach ensures there are no visible scars on the outside of the face. Once an appropriate amount of fat from each cheek is carefully removed, our surgical team will sculpt the area for a more defined appearance. The entire procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Depending on the patient's preference and the surgeon's recommendation, it can be done using local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia. During the healing process, patients will be advised to follow specific care instructions to ensure proper healing and reduce the risk of complications.

Buccal fat pad removal enhances the facial contours and reduces excess cheek fullness. This technique can significantly boost self-confidence and help patients feel more comfortable in their skin. This safe, effective procedure can offer long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
