Buccal Fat Pad Removal

Introduction

Full cheeks can give a youthful appearance, but for some individuals, excess facial fullness can create a round or “chubby” look, even at a healthy weight. Buccal fat pad removal, a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, offers a solution for those seeking a slimmer, more sculpted facial contour. By carefully removing excess fat from the buccal (cheek) area, this procedure enhances definition in the cheeks and jawline, creating a refined and elegant appearance.

As a renowned plastic surgeon in Dubai, Dr. Vikesh Vij specializes in buccal fat pad removal, delivering precise and natural-looking results. With over a decade of experience, Dr. Vij ensures personalized care tailored to each patient’s unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

What Is Buccal Fat Pad Removal?

Buccal fat pad removal is a cosmetic procedure that reduces fullness in the mid-face by removing excess fat from the buccal fat pads, located between the cheekbones and jaw. This simple yet effective procedure:

  • Slims the lower face.

  • Enhances cheekbone definition.

  • Creates a more contoured, sculpted appearance.

It is ideal for individuals with naturally fuller cheeks who desire a slimmer, more angular facial profile.
