Buccal Fat Reduction
Excess fullness of the buccal fat pads can lead to the appearance of a fuller lower face. Removing part of these bulging fat pads can lead to a more contoured and youthful facial shape and create more definition between the cheekbones and jawline.
What is a buccal fat reduction?
Everyone has buccal fat pads, but overgrowth of these pads can lead to the appearance of a heavy lower face with loss of cheek definition. Unlike some of the extreme results seen on social media, a well-done and conservative buccal fat reduction should lead to natural results and more youthful definition between the middle and lower part of the face, highlighting the distinct cheekbone and jawline. This procedure can either be done through small incisions inside the mouth or at the time of facelift through the facelift incision.
- More youthful lower facial contours
- A natural and subtle distinction between the cheekbone and jawline
