Buccal Fat is a rounded mass of the fat in your cheeks between the facial muscles. Everyone has buccal fat; however, the size of buccal fat pads varies from one patient to another.
Buccal Fat Removal removes fat from the cheek area to give the patient an improved contour and youthful look. It can be done under local anesthesia as a stand alone procedure or may be combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as Facelift.
While discussing Buccal Fat Removal surgery, Dr. Mansher Singh says that the surgery begins with skin markings on the lower cheeks, followed by the injection of numbing medicine into the cheeks. Thereafter, a small incision is made intraorally just near the upper molar teeth. The optimal amount of buccal fat is then carefully teased out to restore the facial harmony.
Dr. Singh and his team believe in customized patient care. He adds that the anatomy of every patient’s face is unique; hence adopting a cookie-cutter approach isn’t appropriate. Therefore, he offers a tailor-made treatment that works best for his patients.
