Frequently Asked Questions
The Buccal fat is located between your cheekbones and jawbones. It is an anatomic structure we all possess, but the size of the buccal fat pad is genetically larger in some people. Although an overall round face from obesity can be addressed by weight loss, the hereditary buccal fat pad size typically remains unchanged. For patients who cannot reduce a cherub or rounded appearance to their face, buccal fat removal excises this fat pad to contour the face and effectively enhance the cheekbones and jawline.
