Buccal Pad Fat Removal
Buccal pad fat is the fat tissue in your cheeks. Excess fat can impart an unaesthetic appearance. Moreover, this fat extends downwards with ageing, making your face droop. Therefore, these buccal pad fat tissues are eliminated to have a toned, tightened, symmetrical and slimmer face.
Once you are anaesthetised, an intraoral incision is made in the buccal mucosa. This incision marks the site to eliminate the excess fat. Mild pressure is applied to the cheeks externally, forcing the buccal fat pad to project inside the mouth. The excess fat is excised from this incision. The incision is then sutured with absorbable sutures.
