The best candidates for buccal fat removal are people who are generally healthy, have a realistic goal in mind, and have a stable weight. This includes those who have undergone a weight loss journey but still have persistently round cheeks may benefit from this procedure. The buccal fat pad, residing within the lower cheek compartment above the jawline, can give the face a puffier appearance. If you are concerned about this and desire a more sculpted cheek and jawline, a Buccal Fat Removal procedure could be the route to achieve this. Several factors may make you a poor candidate for Buccal Fat Removal, so it’s best to book a consultation with our surgeon.
