Features & Benefits
Discover unique features and benefits of this product, and explore how it is designed to directly address your needs and deliver real results.
Facial Contouring
Buccal fat pads contribute to the roundness of the cheeks, which can create a “chubby” or overly full appearance. By selectively removing a portion of these fat pads, buccal fat excision can help achieve a more sculpted and contoured facial appearance.
How is buccal fat excision performed?
During the procedure, the surgeon makes small incisions on the inside of the mouth, typically near the back molars. Through these incisions, the buccal fat pads are carefully identified, isolated, and then removed. The incisions are then closed with dissolvable sutures.
What is the recovery like after buccal fat excision?
Recovery time can vary, but generally, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the first week or two following the surgery. You may be advised to follow a soft diet for a few days and avoid strenuous physical activities. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions for optimal healing.
When will I see the results of buccal fat excision?
It can take several weeks to a few months for the full results of buccal fat excision to become apparent. Initially, there may be some swelling that gradually subsides, allowing you to appreciate the final outcome. The cheeks will appear slimmer and more contoured.
Will buccal fat excision cause sagging skin or premature aging?
Buccal fat excision is primarily intended to address excess cheek fullness and create a more defined facial contour. While it is possible that the removal of buccal fat pads may contribute to a slight decrease in volume over time, the procedure is not typically associated with significant skin sagging or premature aging.
Can buccal fat excision be combined with other procedures?
Buccal fat excision can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as facelift surgery, neck lift, or rhinoplasty for a more comprehensive facial transformation. This combination can be tailored to your specific needs and desired outcomes.
