About the Buccal Fat Removal Process

Buccal fat removal, also known as buccal fat pad removal, is a cosmetic procedure that reduces the prominence of the cheeks by removing excess fat in the lower cheek area. It aims to make the cheeks appear less full or chubby, accentuate the cheekbones, and provide a more defined facial structure.

The procedure starts with the administration of local anesthesia to numb the treatment area. A small incision is made inside the mouth, specifically in the buccal mucosa, which is the inner cheek lining. The Dr. Bolitho carefully removes the buccal fat pad and then closes the incision with sutures. This approach ensures no visible scarring on the face.

Is Buccal Fat Removal Right for You?

This cosmetic procedure achieves a more sculpted and balanced facial appearance for many people. This surgery reduces the fullness or "chubbiness" of the cheeks, resulting in well-defined facial contours and accentuated cheekbones. Many individuals find this treatment boosts their confidence and achieves a natural aesthetic look without looking overdone.

However, buccal fat removal in La Jolla may not be suitable for everyone. It is crucial to understand the ideal candidates for this procedure and who should avoid it. People with thin faces might not benefit from this surgery; removing buccal fat pads might make their appearance overly gaunt.

Natural results: Unlike some other facial cosmetic procedures, buccal fat removal tends to provide subtle and natural-looking outcomes.
