Facial contouring by removing the Buccal Fat Pad
Recently, facial contouring by removing the Buccal Fat Pad, the fat that is located on the face between the chewing muscles, has been gaining popularity.The method is receiving a lot of attention as many people in the modeling industry who want to emphasize angles, get thinner cheeks or improve some facial proportions undergo this treatment. By reducing the volume in the cheeks, in addition to a thinner face, the cheekbones are indirectly emphasized and appear more well-shaped.
Under local anesthesia, an incision is made inside the oral cavity and using special and thin instruments, part of the fat is removed. We must emphasize that the area where the buccal fat pad is located, is rich in vessels and nerves, therefore the removal is difficult and we do not seek to violently remove all the fat, but only a part of it. Absorbable sutures are placed in the incision area and perhaps a pressure bandage for one day. No hospital or clinic stay is required. The final result is visible in two to six weeks, when the swelling from the cheeks has completely subsided. The method can be combined with liposuction on the face and neck to enhance the result
