Buccal fat removal is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reduces fullness in the lower cheeks by removing the buccal fat pads. These fat pads are naturally present in everyone, but in some individuals, they are more prominent and create a round or “chubby” facial appearance. By carefully removing a portion of this fat through small incisions inside the mouth, the surgeon enhances cheekbone definition and creates a slimmer, more sculpted lower face. The result is improved facial contour without visible external scars.
Ideal candidates are individuals who feel their face appears overly round or full despite maintaining a healthy weight. The procedure is most suitable for patients seeking more defined cheekbones and a contoured jawline. Candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations. It may not be recommended for individuals with naturally thin faces, as excessive fat removal could lead to a hollow appearance over time.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. A small incision is made inside the mouth near the upper molars, allowing access to the buccal fat pad. The surgeon gently removes the appropriate amount of fat to ensure balanced and natural-looking results. Because the incision is inside the mouth, there are no visible external scars. The surgery usually takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on the case.
After surgery, mild swelling and discomfort are common, especially during the first week. Patients are usually advised to follow a soft-food diet temporarily and maintain proper oral hygiene to reduce infection risk. Most swelling subsides within two to three weeks, but final contouring results gradually become visible over several months as the tissues settle. Patients can typically return to normal daily activities within a few days.
Yes, the removed buccal fat does not grow back, making the results permanent. However, natural aging and significant weight fluctuations can still affect overall facial appearance over time. A well-planned procedure performed by an experienced surgeon ensures subtle, balanced contouring that enhances natural facial harmony rather than creating an overly hollow look. A thinner, more defined face profile that brings out your best features is possible with buccal fat reduction. This life-altering operation is well-suited to Dr. Matteo Vigo because of his extensive training, compassionate demeanor, and dedication to his patients.
