What is Buccal Fat Removal?

The buccal fat removal procedure reduces the volume of the buccal fat pads in the lower cheeks. These areas of fat can give the face a rounder, fuller appearance, which some find less desirable. Dr. Wise skillfully helps patients achieve a slimmer, more sculpted facial contour by meticulously removing a portion of these pads. This procedure enhances the definition of the facial structure, highlighting the natural cheekbones and angularity of the face.

What are the Benefits of Buccal Fat Removal?

This procedure is ideal for those who feel their face appears too round or full. It reduces cheek volume, significantly enhancing facial angles and shadows highlighting your natural bone structure.

Enhanced Facial Contours: Creates a more defined facial structure by reducing cheek volume.
Immediate Visibility of Results: Changes are noticeable immediately after the swelling subsides, providing a quick transformation.
Minimal Scarring: Because the incisions are inside the mouth, there are no visible external scars.
Long-Lasting Results: Once the buccal fat pads are removed, they do not regenerate, making the results permanent.

Who is a Candidate for Our Buccal Fat Removal Technique in New Jersey?

Ideal candidates for buccal fat removal are individuals seeking a permanent solution to reduce cheek fullness and achieve a more defined facial profile. Candidates should be:

What to Expect During the Procedure

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes about an hour. Dr. Wise makes a small incision inside the mouth near the second upper molar. He carefully extracts the appropriate amount of buccal fat through this incision, sculpting a more refined cheek contour. The incision is then sutured with dissolvable stitches.

After Buccal Fat Removal

Recovery from buccal fat removal is relatively quick, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. Swelling is common but typically subsides within a few weeks. Patients can usually return to normal activities within a few days, and the final, refined facial contour emerges as swelling decreases. Dr. Wise provides comprehensive post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
