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.
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.
Buccal fat pad removal is suitable for individuals who:
Have Excess Cheek Fullness
Struggle with a “baby face” or chubby cheeks despite a healthy weight.
Seek Enhanced Facial Contouring
Desire a more defined jawline and cheekbone structure.
Are in Good Health
Non-smokers without serious medical conditions that could impair healing.
Have Realistic Expectations:
Understand the limitations and results of the procedure.
Are Over 18 Years Old
Since facial fat naturally decreases with age, this procedure is typically recommended for adults.
Buccal fat pad removal is a straightforward and minimally invasive outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia or light sedation. Here’s what to expect:
Consultation and Planning
Dr. Vikesh Vij will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the optimal amount of fat to be removed for a natural result.
Anesthesia
Local anesthesia is administered to numb the treatment area, ensuring a comfortable experience.
Incision and Fat Removal
Small, discreet incisions are made inside the mouth, eliminating the risk of visible scars.
The buccal fat pads are carefully removed to achieve the desired contour.
The incisions are then closed with dissolvable sutures.
Post-Procedure Care
You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions, including tips on managing swelling and maintaining oral hygiene.
Recovery from buccal fat pad removal is typically quick and hassle-free:
Day 1-3: Mild swelling and discomfort may occur but can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Week 1: Most swelling subsides, and patients can return to work and daily activities.
4-6 Weeks: Final results start becoming visible as the swelling completely resolves.
3 Months: The full effect of the procedure is apparent, with a slimmer and more contoured face.
Dr. Vikesh Vij provides comprehensive post-operative care and follow-ups to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
