What is Buccal Fat Removal?

Buccal fat removal, also known as cheek fat removal or buccal lipectomy, is a facial contouring procedure that precisely removes excess fat pads from the lower cheeks. This creates a more sculpted, defined, and often slimmer appearance to the mid-to-lower face.

This procedure is ideal for those at a stable weight who struggle with:

  • Full, “chubby,” or “chipmunk” cheeks
  • A rounded facial appearance due to excess fat in the lower cheeks
  • Lack of definition between the cheeks and jawline

Dr. Valdez will assess your unique facial anatomy during your personal consultation to recommend the most suitable approach for your desired outcome. Many patients benefit from buccal fat removal alone, while others achieve their best results through a combination with other facial procedures to enhance overall facial harmony.
