Buccal Fat Removal
Buccal Fat Removal Case

I’m Debby. Since high school, I noticed I had severe baby fat. I tried using Korean face slimming tools, but they were ineffective and made my face asymmetrical. This caused me a lot of appearance anxiety, especially about my upturned nose. I even tried fat-dissolving injections and Botox, but since my issue was excess facial fat, I decided on buccal fat removal.

Thoughtful Consultation
and State-of-the-Art Equipment

During my consultation with Dr. Yu Yan-Chen, I found him very attentive and thorough in answering my concerns. I also reviewed his previous buccal fat removal cases and was impressed with the results. Combined with the advanced medical equipment at NAISS CLINIC, I felt confident choosing Dr. Yu for my surgery.

3-Day Recovery, No Pain
No Impact on Daily Life

Post-surgery, I experienced no pain or bruising, just mild swelling and limited mouth opening on the first day. The doctor advised me to avoid hot or hard-shell foods and to maintain oral hygiene. By the third day, I had fully recovered, with no significant impact on daily life. I could even apply makeup the day after surgery, and since the stitches were absorbable, there was no need for a follow-up visit.

Say Goodbye to Baby Fat with Invisible Scars

Illustration of Buccal Fat Removal

Buccal fat removal effectively addresses baby fat and prominent cheek fullness. During the procedure, small incisions are made on the inner cheek mucosa on both sides, while avoiding facial nerves, blood vessels, and salivary glands. After extracting the appropriate amount of fat, medical-grade absorbable sutures are used for closure. Buccal fat removal offers high safety, a short recovery period, invisible scars, and requires no suture removal, making it easy to eliminate bothersome baby fat without affecting daily life!

How to Know if Buccal Fat Removal is Right for You?

Muscle-Based Chubby Face

A muscle-based chubby face is usually caused by overdeveloped chewing muscles (masseter muscles). It is more suitable to treat with Botox injections to relax the overactive muscles.

Fat-Based Chubby Face

A fat-based chubby face is caused by excess buccal fat pads, making it an ideal case for buccal fat removal surgery.

Bone Structure Causing Poor Contours

If the issue is not due to muscles or fat, but instead caused by your bone structure—such as a wide jawline leading to a square face—consider jaw reduction surgery for improvement.

Buccal Fat Removal Precautions

    1
  • Avoid wide mouth movements such as singing or laughing for one week post-surgery. Pregnant or individuals with specific medical conditions should consult a doctor before scheduling the procedure.
  • 2
  • Reduce consumption of spicy or chewy foods for one week post-surgery to avoid straining the wound, which could lead to inflammation and prolong recovery.
  • 3
  • Refrain from smoking or drinking alcohol for one week post-surgery, as nicotine can hinder wound healing.
  • 4
  • Consume cold, soft, or liquid foods post-surgery to reduce discomfort around the wound.

FAQ
About Buccal Fat Removal

Facial nerve pathways differ for everyone. Buccal fat removal targets deep fat inside the mouth, with incisions placed on the oral mucosa. This minimizes contact with facial nerves and salivary glands, significantly enhancing safety.

Before the surgery, consult with your doctor to determine the appropriate amount of fat to remove. After tissue recovery, your skin should not become saggy. For enhanced firmness and contouring, consider combining the procedure with other recommended treatments.

Buccal fat removal is a minimally invasive, tailored procedure. The amount of fat to be removed is carefully evaluated by a professional doctor. Removing too little may result in unsatisfactory results, while removing too much could cause sagging or hollow cheeks. Proper assessment ensures optimal outcomes.

Buccal fat removal is a minimally invasive procedure with a short operation time and small incisions. Using medical-grade absorbable sutures, it requires no stitch removal. Post-surgery, there is minimal pain and quick swelling reduction, resulting in a short recovery period with little impact on daily life.
