Lower face fat removal, also known as buccal fat removal or reduction, is an in-office surgical cosmetic procedure to decrease fullness in the lower cheek areas. If you are among the patients who complain of a “baby face” or “chipmunk cheeks” appearance, this might be the ideal solution for you. At MD Brothers, we specialize in creating naturally sculpted facial contours using advanced minimally invasive techniques. With years of specialized training and hundreds of successful procedures performed, board-certified aesthetic medicine specialists Drs. Nael and Shazel Gharbi bring unparalleled expertise to help you achieve the refined, contoured look you desire.

What is buccal fat removal?

Buccal fat removal is a cheek reduction surgery aimed at providing you with a more sculpted facial shape, including the jawline area. This specialized procedure targets the buccal fat pads, which are naturally occurring fat deposits located in the lower cheeks.

A more rounded or puffy facial profile can often be attributed to large buccal fat deposits in the lower face. The deposits can affect how your lower jawline appears, including the nasolabial folds from your nose to the corners of your mouth. By carefully removing or reducing these fat pads, we can create more defined cheekbones and a slimmer facial appearance.

At MD Brothers, Drs. Nael and Shazel Gharbi will use either the AGNES RF device, liposuction or a combination of the two in order to thin the cheek areas for more definition.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Ideal candidates for lower face fat removal are individuals who are bothered by excess fullness in their lower cheeks despite maintaining a healthy weight. You may be a good candidate if you have naturally round cheeks, a fuller facial appearance that doesn’t match your body type, or feel that your face looks too “soft” or undefined. This procedure works best for patients who have good skin elasticity and are in overall good health. It’s important to have realistic expectations about the results and understand that this procedure is about contouring, not weight loss.

The Procedure Process

Lower face fat removal at MD Brothers is performed as an in-office procedure using local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the process. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete. During the treatment, small incisions are made inside the mouth, leaving no visible external scarring. Through these discreet incisions, the buccal fat pads are carefully accessed and the appropriate amount of fat is removed to achieve your desired contour. Our doctors use precise techniques to ensure symmetrical, natural-looking results that enhance your facial structure.

Benefits of Lower Face Fat Removal

This procedure offers numerous aesthetic advantages for those seeking a more defined facial appearance. Benefits include more prominent cheekbones, a slimmer facial profile, enhanced jawline definition, and improved facial proportions. The results are long-lasting, as the removed buccal fat does not return. Additional benefits include minimal downtime, no visible scarring since incisions are made inside the mouth, and the ability to achieve results that diet and exercise cannot provide. Many patients report increased confidence and satisfaction with their more sculpted, mature-looking facial contours.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from lower face fat removal is typically quick and straightforward. Most patients experience mild swelling and some discomfort for the first few days, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and cold compresses. You can typically return to work and normal activities within 3 to 5 days. Swelling continues to diminish over the following weeks, with final results becoming apparent within 2 to 3 months as your tissues fully settle. The results are permanent, as the removed fat cells do not regenerate, giving you a lifetime of enhanced facial definition.
