Refinement in Every Detail
What is buccal fat removal?
Buccal fat removal involves the surgical removal of excess fat pads located in the lower cheeks. The purpose of this cosmetic procedure is to create a more contoured and defined facial structure, particularly in the cheek area. Patients choose this procedure to achieve a more angular, sculpted look that highlights their natural bone structure. Dr. Dunn carefully evaluates each patient’s facial anatomy to determine the right amount of fat to remove to ensure a balanced and harmonious result.
Flawless Refinement
What is the buccal fat removal procedure like?
The details of your procedure will be discussed in detail during your consultation with Dr. Dunn. We prioritize a collaborative and well-informed planning process, ensuring you have a clear understanding of each step of your procedure, including all recovery requirements.
On the day of your buccal fat removal, you will be given general anesthesia. Dr. Dunn begins by making a small incision inside the mouth, eliminating the need for any external scars. Through this incision, he carefully removes a portion of the buccal fat pad. He then closes this incision with dissolvable stitches. The procedure generally takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your facial anatomy and the extent of fat removal.
Unveil Sleek Contours
What conditions does buccal fat removal address?
Buccal fat removal primarily addresses concerns related to fullness in the lower cheeks. Patients who feel that their face appears too round or “chubby” often seek this procedure to achieve a more defined and streamlined look. By removing excess fat from the cheeks, the buccal fat removal procedure enhances your natural facial contours, creating a more streamlined and sculpted appearance.

Accuracy and Artistry
Am I a candidate for buccal fat removal?
Candidates for buccal fat removal should be generally healthy, non-smokers, and have concerns about the fullness of their cheeks. This procedure is not recommended for individuals with very thin faces, as removing buccal fat in these cases could lead to a gaunt appearance over time. Dr. Dunn will conduct a thorough evaluation during your consultation to determine if buccal fat removal is the right option for you.
