Buccal Fat Removal
in Orlando
Buccal fat removal is a procedure that reduces facial fullness and enhances facial features. This procedure removes the naturally-occurring fat pads in the hollow area underneath the cheekbone to create a slimmer and more contoured facial shape. While everyone has buccal fat pads, the size can vary greatly which can cause roundness or even what some patients refer to as a "baby face." Patients typically experience this due to genetics or weight gain. During this minimally invasive procedure, your plastic surgeon will remove your buccal fat pads by creating small incisions on the inside of your mouth under local anesthesia. If you're interested in this procedure, we recommend scheduling a consultation to get evaluated and discuss your options with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons!
