Buccal Fat Removal
Buccal Fat Removal in Surrey, B.C.
At the Plastic Surgery Group, we understand that subtle changes can make a significant impact. Buccal fat removal, a specialized facial contouring procedure, targets the cheek area to create a more sculpted and defined appearance. This minimally invasive procedure is ideal for those who desire a more chiseled facial structure and wish to reduce the prominence of round cheeks.
Benefits of Buccal Fat Removal
Buccal fat removal offers transformative results with minimal intervention. Key benefits include:
- Enhanced Facial Angles: By removing excess fat pads from the cheeks, this procedure sharpens your facial features, providing a more refined and mature appearance.
- Long-Lasting Results: Unlike temporary solutions, the effects of buccal fat removal are permanent, giving you a lasting confidence boost.
- Minimal Scarring: Incisions are made inside the mouth, so there are no visible scars on the face, ensuring your cosmetic enhancements remain your private matter.
- Quick Recovery: Recovery from buccal fat removal is swift compared to other cosmetic surgeries, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days.
Ideal Candidates for Buccal Fat Removal
Ideal candidates for buccal fat removal are those looking for a permanent solution to reduce the volume in their lower cheeks. Suitable candidates should:
- Be in good general health.
- Have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
- Commit to maintaining a stable weight, as significant weight fluctuations can alter the results.
Buccal Fat Removal Procedure Details
Buccal fat removal is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes under an hour. During the procedure, your surgeon makes a small incision inside your cheek, through which the buccal fat pad is gently teased out and excised. The amount of fat removed depends on the desired outcome agreed upon during your consultation, ensuring a look that complements your natural facial features. The incisions are then sutured with dissolvable stitches.
Buccal Fat Removal Recovery and Results
Recovery from buccal fat removal is relatively quick, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising, which subside within a few weeks. You can usually return to work as well as your other daily activities within a few days post-surgery. It’s important to follow post-operative care instructions, such as maintaining oral hygiene and adhering to a liquid or soft food diet initially to ensure a smooth and swift healing process.
The results of buccal fat removal gradually become visible as the swelling decreases, with the final, more sculpted appearance evident within a few months. As the cheeks settle into their new contour, you’ll notice a more defined and aesthetically pleasing facial structure that enhances your overall features and boosts your self-confidence. These results are indefinite.
