Dr. Quintero at Revitalize Cosmetic Surgical Arts understands that many men want a more defined, chiseled facial appearance. Buccal fat removal is an excellent solution for those who struggle with excess fat in the cheek area, often resulting in a round or fuller face. This procedure is designed to slim the cheeks and enhance the natural definition of the jawline and cheekbones, giving men a more sculpted and masculine appearance.
What is Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal fat removal, also known as buccal lipectomy, is a cosmetic procedure that removes the buccal fat pads in the lower cheeks. These fat pads can contribute to a rounder, fuller face, which may not align with the sharper, more angular facial features many men desire. Buccal fat removal aims to create a more contoured and defined look by slimming the mid-face area, bringing out the natural contours of the cheekbones and jawline.
Benefits of Buccal Fat Removal for Men
Buccal fat removal offers several benefits for men seeking to enhance their facial definition:
- Enhanced Facial Contours: The procedure slims the cheeks, giving men a more angular, masculine appearance.
- Increased Definition: Removing excess fat from the mid-face area helps accentuate the cheekbones and jawline.
- Improved Self-Confidence: After achieving a more sculpted, chiseled look, many men feel more confident and satisfied with their appearance.
- Long-Lasting Results: Once the buccal fat is removed, it does not regenerate, meaning the results are permanent.
- Minimally Invasive: The procedure involves small incisions inside the mouth, leaving no visible scars on the face.
The Procedure
Buccal fat removal is typically performed under sedation with local anesthesia and is a relatively quick, minimally invasive procedure. Dr. Quintero makes small incisions inside the mouth, usually along the inner lining of the cheeks. He carefully removes the buccal fat pads through these incisions, sculpting the cheek area for a more contoured look.
The procedure generally takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the patient’s facial anatomy and the desired outcome. Because the incisions are made inside the mouth, there are no visible scars, and recovery is typically quick and straightforward.
What to Expect
During your consultation, Dr. Quintero will assess your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine whether buccal fat removal is the best option for you. The surgery is outpatient, meaning you can return home the same day.
Recovery Process
After buccal fat removal, it’s normal to experience some swelling and mild discomfort in the cheek area, which typically subsides within a week or two. Since the incisions are inside the mouth, proper oral hygiene is important during the recovery process to prevent infection. Dr. Quintero’s team will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery. Most men can return to normal activities within a few days, with noticeable improvements in facial contours visible within a few weeks.
Is Buccal Fat Removal Right for You?
Buccal fat removal is an ideal option for men who are bothered by a round or fuller face and want to achieve a more angular, defined look. If you have excess fat in the cheek area that obscures your natural facial contours, this procedure may be the solution you’re looking for. Scheduling a consultation with Dr. Quintero is the best way to determine if buccal fat removal is right for you based on your specific goals and facial anatomy.
