Face shape is an important factor in terms of facial expression. If your face shape is round, even if you gain a little weight, you may look chubby and maybe older than your actual age.
Fullness on the face shows up especially on the cheeks. While normal quantity of fat makes you look younger, cheek fullness may display a “moon face” appearance.
Cheek reduction is a common procedure and results in a younger and slimmer face.
All babies’ cheeks look puffy. It is a genetic characteristics of human nature. As the overall body grows in years, cheek fat does not grow parallel to body growth.
In childhood, cheek fat growth slows down and in adolescence, the face formation appears normal. However, cheek fat growth continues longer in some people and leads to a chubby face.
If your face looks chubby and puffy and you wish to look finer, buccal fat removal is the best option for you. (Ref. Extended buccal lipectomy (bichectomy) for extreme cheek contouring)
The buccal fat reduction eliminates the cheek fullness arising from excessive fat on both sides. And provides:
My objective is to make you happy by achieving a more suitable satisfactory face form. So, getting rid of excessive fat re-contours your cheeks and provides you with a slimmer look.
Cheek fat removal seems a relatively simple procedure as compared to the other cosmetic surgeries. However, it never and should not be underestimated.
Some patients seek a solution as they experienced a failed buccal fat reduction surgery before. Cheek asymmetries due to unequal removal of fat and inadequate reduction are the most common complaints of the patients consulting me. Sometimes, their corrective surgery challenges are even more complex than the primary surgery. The goal is to achieve the best outcome in a single shot.
You can directly see prior to the procedure how your face will look after buccal fat removal. Here is the tip for you… Stand in front of the mirror. Slightly bite your inner wall of your cheeks with your upper and lower teeth. Then you can see the result. What you see is almost the same as the result of buccal fat reduction.
Joint Commission International (JCI) works to improve patient safety and quality of health care in the international community by offering education, publications, advisory services, and international accreditation and certification. It is the recognized global leader in healthcare accreditation with the highest standards built on maximum safety and minimum risk.
There are a couple of hospital options that I affiliated with, which accredited by JCI. I will perform your surgery at either one of the distinguished, cutting edge hospitals in Dubai. You may opt for one during the consultation.
1 cm surgical incision inside the mouth which is enough to remove buccal fat.
For buccal fat removal procedure, local anesthesia alone or combined with sedation provides sufficient numbness.
I incise 1 cm mucosa inside the mouth. Capsule of the fat pad shows itself directly. Then I divide the fat from the surrounding tissue.
At this stage, it is crucial to cauterize the connections of the fat via laser or radio frequency device. Thus, the fat becomes disconnected. Then I remove it.
I double check to be sure if there is any active bleeding inside. After final bleeding control, I stitch the wound.
Each cheek fat removal takes 15-20 minutes.
Buccal fat reduction or repositioning can also be carried out as a part of facelift surgery.
You may leave the hospital following 1-2 hours rest after procedure. Even the next day you can resume your normal life.
Since there is a wound inside your mouth you need to eat soft foods for 3-4 days. After each feeding you should wash your mouth with antiseptic solution for 4-5 days.
I use absorbable stitches to close the wound. The stitches dissolve in 7-10 days, so no need to remove the stitches.
Just after buccal fat removal, little blood oozing from the surrounding tissue fill the space where the fat was removed. Plus surrounding soft tissue swelling occurs as well, hence your cheeks looking slightly swollen than they looked before.
Resolving of the soft tissue swelling and accumulated blood resorption take 3-5 days. From that moment your cheeks look the same as before. Namely, after one week, you will look as if you have not had surgery at all.
The space where the fat was removed starts to shrink, and the inner surface of surrounding tissue merge together. This process progresses very slowly and takes about 2-4 months. For this reason, I want to inform you in advance that you will not see the result immediately after buccal fat removal.
As this process go on, the new shape of your cheeks starts to emerge gradually. Briefly you will see the actual result 2-4 months after the procedure.
Buccal fat removal before and after picture
The face contains two layers of fat tissue. The superficial layer lies just underneath the skin and is present in the entire face with variable thickness. Whereas the deep layer, namely the buccal fat pad has a particular location on the inner aspect of the cheek wall. It lies underneath the muscle layer at the deepest position.
Therefore fullness of each layer shows up differently upon the face form, hence buccal fat removal and liposuction procedure providing different effects. Both procedures have no superiority upon each other.
Liposuction thins the fat layer from below the eyes to the neck where the fat layer is thick, whereas buccal fat removal reduces local fullness of the cheek.
I elaborately examine your face fullness which the layer arises from. Then I choose which procedure is proper for you according to how you would like your face to look. A combination of both procedures is also feasible.
Diagram shows, how you will feel yourself emotionally during the recovery period of buccal fat removal. The effect of the surgery may impair your emotional status. However, as time goes on, you will recover and get rid of surgical effects; and eventually, you will gain your confidence back.
Patient satisfaction rate after buccal fat reduction
There is no large series of buccal fat reduction patient study stating the rates of each complication in the medical literature. However, the overall complication rate of buccal fat removal is 8,5% includes bleeding and infection. That does not mean you will experience those complications.
Bleeding is an avoidable complication, so delicate bleeding control during the surgery prevents the bleeding risk.
Antibiotic medication and washing the mouth with antiseptic solution after feeding for 4-5 days minimize infection risk.
On the other hand, since the buccal fat pad has close a relation with salivary duct, buccal nerve and major facial vessel, there are many pitfalls of the surgery. That is why some surgeons who lack confidence avoid performing this procedure and try to discourage you. (Ref. Complications associated with bichectomy surgery)
