Buccal fat removal is a cosmetic surgical procedure that targets the buccal fat pads - rounded deposits of fat located in the lower cheeks. These pads contribute to a fuller, rounder facial appearance. By carefully removing or reducing them, the procedure helps enhance cheekbone definition and create a more contoured facial profile.
The surgery is typically performed under local anaesthesia and takes approximately 45 to 90 minutes. The surgeon makes a small incision inside the mouth, removes the appropriate amount of fat, and closes the incision with dissolvable sutures. Since the incision is placed inside the mouth, there is no visible external scarring.
Results are long-lasting in most cases, as the buccal fat pads do not regenerate after removal. The procedure is often combined with other facial contouring treatments such as chin augmentation or rhinoplasty for a more balanced aesthetic outcome.
At Pristyn Care in Bangalore, our cosmetic surgeons assess your facial structure carefully before recommending the procedure, ensuring the results complement your natural features.

During your consultation with the plastic surgeon, he/she will examine your face and take photographs from different angles. The doctor will ask about your overall health, family health history, and past surgeries that you had.
Other examinations, such as blood pressure tests, blood tests, liver function tests, etc., will be done on the day of surgery.

After confirming that you are an ideal candidate for buccal fat removal surgery, the doctor will ask you to sign a consent form and then proceed. The surgery will include the following steps-
As soon as the buccal fat is removed, you will be able to see the slimmer and contoured cheek. The entire procedure takes around 20 to 45 minutes approximately and is performed on an outpatient basis.

Buccal fat is located between the facial muscles, beneath the cheekbone. In every person, the size of these fat pads is slightly different, and it affects the face shape significantly.

Typically, you cannot get rid of the buccal fat naturally. The fat pad is not affected by age, weight gain/loss, or other factors. Thus, the best method to get rid of the fat is to opt for surgical treatment.
Buccal fat removal surgery is not suitable for everyone. Hence, it won’t be recommended to you if-
Typically, the right age for buccal fat removal surgery is above 20. Till the age of 20 years, the fat pad continues to grow. Thus, it is safer to remove the fat only after that.
Technically, buccal fat removal has negligible to no effect on the jawline. But as the cheekbones become more defined, the jawline also appears sculpted. The absence of a buccal fat pad enhances the natural contours of the face.
