Am I a Good Candidate for Buccal Fat Removal?
A fuller or rounder mid-face can be due to bone structure and genetics. However, for some people, that fullness is specifically from the buccal fat pad, and in these cases, the removal of the buccal fat pad may improve facial definition.
You May Be a Good Candidate If You:
Have noticeable full cheeks that come from soft tissue rather than bone structure.
Want natural-looking definition in the mid-face.
It May Not Be Right If You:
Have facial fullness which is due to underlying bone structure, which buccal fat cannot alter.
Have unrealistic expectations about results.

What is Buccal Fat?
Buccal fat refers to the discrete pockets of fat that are found inside the cheek.
Will I Be Awake During The Buccal Fat Removal Procedure?
Buccal fat removal can be performed under local anaesthetic. This means the procedure takes place while awake, but the area will be numbed.
If you would prefer the general anaesthetic approach, you can discuss it further with your surgeon during your consultation.
What Is Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal fat removal is a procedure that reduces the buccal fat pad inside the cheek, helping bring out more definition in the mid-face.
It can be for people whose fullness comes from this specific fat pocket rather than their bone structure.
It may be useful for individuals wanting a slimmer mid-face and clearer cheekbone definition.
What Happens During Surgery?
1. Anaesthetic
Local anaesthetic is administered to provide comfort throughout the procedure.
2. Incision and Removal of Buccal Fat
A small incision is made inside the cheek, through which buccal fat is removed.
3. Closure & Same-Day Discharge
The incision inside the mouth is closed with dissolving sutures. The procedure is completed as a day case, which allows same-day discharge.

Recovery & Aftercare
Following buccal fat removal, the recovery is generally straightforward:
- Using mouthwash as directed for the first few days after surgery.
- Avoid large or chewy foods
- Keeping activity light, postponing intense activity for a minimum of two weeks.
Your face may feel swollen and stiff, but there’s likely to be little visible sign of surgery to those around you. Because swelling temporarily fills the space left by the removed fat, there may be a delay before your final result becomes visible.
Risks & Honest Considerations
As with all surgery, buccal fat removal carries risks, including:
- Haematoma (blood clot accumulation) in the space where the fat was removed, which may cause swelling, bruising or fullness on one side of the face.
- Injury to the salivary duct inside the mouth which may need further treatment, although this is a rare but possible complication.
