Buccal fat removal is a term used occasionally in Orange County, but it is a lot simpler than it sounds. Buccal fat is the fat that is found in the lower part of the cheeks and face. If you have ever been called “chipmunk” cheeks or feel your cheeks are not proportionate to the rest of your face, this procedure may be of interest to you.
Buccal fat removal involves reducing the volume of the face, especially the middle-third portion of the face. Patients who have undergone buccal fat removal have reported it to be exceptionally gratifying and thoroughly enjoy their new, slimmed facial features.
Since chipmunk cheeks will not atrophy with age, and age will have very little effect shaping them, people with rounder faces are ideal candidates for buccal fat removal. People in their early twenties, however, are not the best candidates for buccal fat removal because at this it is possible the face isn’t yet fully developed. Removing buccal fat at such a young age can be dangerous and risk the possibility of a hollow appearance later in life. Consult with only the most elite plastic surgeons Orange County has to offer to find out if you are truly a good candidate for buccal fat removal.
Due to its anatomical complexity, buccal fat removal should be performed by only the best Orange County plastic surgeons. Preserving the natural look and shape to the face should be your plastic surgeon’s top priority. Orange County plastic surgeon’s typically recommend conservative buccal removal to achieve the most natural looking results. It could be done under local or general anesthesia.
Buccal fat removal is not for everyone, but if you think you may benefit from this procedure and are ready to shed those chipmunk cheeks once and for all, call the Orange County office of triple board certified Dr. Ali Sajjadian today. Dr. Sajjadian will provide you with personal and individualized feedback regarding your candidacy for buccal fat removal.
An effective method of reducing prominent cheeks is to cut the cheekbone and set it back toward the face and in a lower position. The zygomatic cheek bone grows in the shape of a thin arch, connected to the skull at either end with an empty space behind the arch.
