Buccal fat removal surgery, also known as cheek reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing the volume of the cheeks by removing a portion of the buccal fat pads located in the mid to lower part of the cheeks.
During your buccal fat removal in London, the surgeon will make a small incision, Inside the mouth along the lower gum line, to access the buccal fat pads. The incision is usually about 1-2 cm in length and is inconspicuous.
The surgeon will then gently tease apart the buccal fat pads from the surrounding tissues and carefully remove an appropriate amount of fat to achieve the desired reduction in cheek volume. The amount of fat removed will be determined based on the patient's facial anatomy, desired outcome, and the surgeon's judgment.
