BUCCAL FAT PAD EXTRACTION

Buccal fat pad extraction is for those with extra round cheeks who wish to have a slightly more chiseled look. Most people lose this roundness in their late 20s (something to consider if you should choose to have this surgery before then). Due to heredity, some people may never lose the chubby look in their cheeks. Often candidates for buccal fat pad extraction refer to their face as having "chipmunk cheeks."

Buccal fat extraction (pronounced buckle) is the procedure to remove the fat pads that augment the lower part of the cheeks. This produces a beautiful, subtle thinning of the cheeks -- it is not a drastic change. The procedure itself is fairly simple and not overly-invasive. A small incision is made inside the mouth and the the lump of fat is gently removed. There is usually some swelling for most patients afterwards -- typically 2-4 days, but every patient is different.
