Buccal fat pads are naturally occurring structures nestled within your cheeks. They play a significant role in facial anatomy. These pockets of fat contribute to the overall shape and contours of the face, particularly in the midface region. In cases where the patient has fuller or rounder facial proportions, the buccal fat pads are often more pronounced and can significantly influence the appearance of the lower face.
 
Buccal fat removal surgery offers an effective approach to refining your lower facial aesthetics by selectively targeting excess fat in the cheek area. Dr. Li can accurately assess the interplay between various complex facial features, including the prominence of the jawline, the volume of the cheeks, and overall facial harmony. When appropriate, a portion of the buccal fat pad can be delicately removed to achieve a more sculpted and contoured look.
 
It’s essential to recognize that facial proportions are complex and multifaceted. Your proportions are influenced by a combination of factors such as genetics, bone structure, and soft tissue distribution. Dr. Li adopts a holistic approach that considers the synergistic qualities of different facial features to develop an effective and highly personalized treatment strategy. In some cases, this will involve not only buccal fat removal but also additional refinements to create a harmonious and balanced result.

The incisions created for buccal fat removal can be well-concealed by Dr. Li’s

strategic placement and precise technique. Dr. Li’s surgical skill ensures that these incisions are well positioned inside the mouth, without affecting the external appearance of your face. This approach not only avoids visible scarring but also allows for a seamless healing process.
 
By accessing the buccal fat pads through the inside of the mouth, the need for external incisions is eliminated. This results in a scar-free exterior and preserves the beauty of your facial features. For the closure of your incisions, Dr. Li uses absorbable sutures. These sutures dissolve over time, eliminating the need for their removal and facilitating a smooth recovery process.
