BUCCAL FAT REDUCTION

WHAT IS BUCCAL FAT?

Buccal fat is fat between your cheekbones and jaw bones in your face. These fat pads help make up the shape of your face. Buccal fat removal is a surgery to remove the fat in this area of your face to highlight the bone structure in your face. This can especially help your cheekbones and the hollowed-out areas between your cheeks and jawline. This procedure is the latest and greatest as many stars in Hollywood have received this to create the contour of their dreams without makeup or fillers.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WITH THIS SURGERY?

This procedure is quite the straightforward procedure as the Surgeon is ideally creating an incision within your mouth to remove the fatty pads. This is a low risk procedure as the fat that is being removed is not connected to any other facial structures. Our Surgeon will have sutures placed inside to sew the incision close and have the patient visit again for a postoperative visit to ensure comfortability and that their healing is going well.

WILL I BE UNDER ANESTHESIA?

For this procedure you will be awake under local anesthesia! Using a specially formulated tumescent lidocaine solution, we are able to avoid the use of general anesthesia while keeping the patient comfortable and numb.

This eliminates the well-known risks associated with anesthesia, and allows us to give our patients gorgeous curves without worry! We understand many patients fear the risks that can naturally follow general anesthesia. Luckily, the Restore team will choose some great music and tend to you entirely through your awake procedure!

RECOVERY TIMELINE

Recovery will differ between patients, but most patients can expect the following:

● Swelling post operation (this will diminish through the healing period)
● Soreness in the cheeks where the treatment site was, but pain medication will be discussed with the patient during the consultation to ensure safe healing
● Final results may take a couple months to show as the swelling goes down. As any surgical procedure, this will not be immediate for a final result, but even after the patient leaves the office, they will feel and see a difference
