What is Buccal Fat Removal?

Buccal Fat Removal, or cheek reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to slim and contour the cheeks by reducing fat pads in the lower cheek area. These fat pads can contribute to a round or overly full appearance to the cheeks, even in individuals at a healthy body weight. By strategically reducing the volume of these fat pads, Dr. Li can sculpt the face for a more defined and aesthetically pleasing contour. Incisions are typically placed inside the mouth and, therefore, wholly hidden.

Buccal Fat Removal First Step

What’s the first step?

The first step in considering buccal fat removal is to schedule a consultation with CA Aesthetics in Los Gatos. During the consultation, Dr. Li will evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your goals and expectations, and determine if you are a suitable candidate for the surgery. The procedure will be explained in detail, including potential risks and complications, and the consultation presents the opportunity to have Dr. Li answer any other questions you may have to ensure you are well-informed before making a decision.

What to expect on the day of Buccal Fat Removal surgery

Let’s talk about the day of your Buccal Fat Removal surgery. When you arrive at our office in Los Gatos, you will be checked in and be prepped for surgery. Dr. Li and our team will review the surgical plan with you again before surgery. Buccal Fat Removal Surgery is often performed as an awake, in-office procedure as a standalone procedure. Therefore, after local anesthetic is injected into your cheeks, Dr. Li will make small incisions inside your mouth and be able to complete the surgery by removing the buccal fat pads without any discomfort.

Once the surgery is complete, you will be taken to a recovery area to rest until you are ready to go home.

Buccal Fat Removal Recovery

Some swelling and minor discomfort in the lower face are normal and should subside within a few days.

It is essential to follow Dr. Li’s post-operative instructions, which may include using cold compresses to reduce swelling, taking prescribed medications for pain management, and adhering to a soft diet to avoid irritating the incision sites. While individual recovery times may vary, most patients can resume normal activities within a week or two after surgery.
