Contact UsWhat Is Buccal Fat Pad Removal?
There are a few areas of the body where it's difficult to remove and sculpt fat with diet and exercise. Your cheeks can be one of those areas where fat is hard to remove. At Watt Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, we offer buccal fat pad removal to reduce the amount of fat between your cheeks and jawbones. This surgery allows the cheeks to appear slimmer so you have a well-defined, thinner look. Learn more about this procedure by scheduling an initial consultation at our Tampa, FL office.
How Is Buccal Fat Pad Removal Performed?
Buccal fat removal at Watt Plastic Surgery & Med Spa is generally an outpatient procedure that allows you to return home once the anesthesia wears off. The removal process involves three main steps outlined below:
- Put under anesthesia: You'll usually get placed under general anesthesia during this procedure. However, you may also opt for local anesthetic and light sedation if you're comfortable and our team believes it's the right fit.
- Incisions are made: We make a small incision in the mouth. The incision allows for access to the buccal fat pad without noticeable scarring. If you're receiving buccal fat removal as part of a facelift, you might not require an incision in the mouth. However, once an incision is present, the buccal fat is trimmed.
- Incision is closed: We close the incision once we reduce buccal fat using sutures. Typically, we use dissolvable sutures, but they can vary based on the patient.
