Buccal Fat Removal
Eradicate the 'baby face' and unveil striking cheekbones. A deeply precise, intraoral surgical excision that permanently hollows the lower cheeks for a highly sophisticated, editorial contour.
Mastering
This Art
“This is the hallmark procedure of high-fashion structure; we subtract the 'cherub' roundness to reveal the profoundly striking angles beneath.”
For many individuals, regardless of intense diet or extreme physical leanness, profound fullness stubbornly persists in the lower cheeks. This buccal fat pad—the 'chubby cheek'—is entirely genetic, obscuring the natural angles of the face and creating an overly rounded, youthful contour that lacks sophistication. Buccal Fat Removal at Kensington Cosmetic Clinic definitively extracts this specific pad, irreversibly chiseling the mid-face architecture.
This procedure requires exquisite surgical finesse. Because the extraction must occur without any external skin incisions, Dr. Hassan navigates flawlessly inside the mouth. Through a minuscule incision along the inner cheek wall, the deeply encapsulating, golden-colored fat pad is meticulously teased out. The result, once healed, is a strikingly defined, shadowed hollow immediately beneath the cheekbones.
The Chiseled Transformation
This highly specialized enhancement requires absolute mastery to ensure the cheek is elegantly contoured without completely over-hollowing the face over the decades. To maximize the profound 'V-shape' effect alongside Buccal Fat Removal, many patients opt for Jawline Contouring to build a spectacular, sweeping boundary separating the newly hollowed cheek from the neck.
Your Patient Journey
Assessing the Architecture
Crucial suitability evaluation. We determine if your fullness is genetically derived buccal fat, or simply thick skin and masseter muscle, ensuring this highly specific surgery yields breathtaking results.
Oral Sterilization
The mouth is deeply cleansed with a highly potent antiseptic rinse. Extreme-strength local anesthetic is injected inside the cheeks, making the incredibly swift procedure completely, profoundly painless.
Internal Extraction
Operating entirely intraorally, Dr. Hassan makes a tiny 1-cm slit inside the cheek. The distinct pad is carefully grasped and removed cleanly in one piece, completely avoiding the vital facial nerves.
The Inner Healing
Your cheeks will surprisingly swell from the inside out for roughly 3-5 days. You must adhere strictly to a soft-food, cool liquid diet to protect the tiny, fast-dissolving internal sutures as you heal.
