About the procedure

A little clarity.
A considered decision.

Buccal fat removal reduces part of the naturally occurring fat pad within the cheek. It is intended to change fullness around the lower cheek rather than address all facial fat. The size of these pads varies, and one side may differ from the other. Assessment should consider the whole face, including current volume and likely changes with age. Already narrow faces may become overly hollow. A consultation should explain irreversible tissue removal, alternatives, possible complications and why the procedure may not suit your goals.

A little clarity

Your questions,
answered.

Does it remove all cheek fat?

No. It targets the buccal fat pad rather than every source of facial fullness.

Is it suitable for a narrow face?

It may create unwanted hollowing; suitability needs careful individual assessment.

Can exact symmetry be promised?

No. Natural asymmetry and differences in healing can remain.

Does adding this procedure confirm my suitability?

No. Build My Plan records your interests for discussion. A qualified clinician must assess suitability, risks and any alternatives.

How do I find out my own recovery plan?

Ask your treating team for written instructions, review arrangements and contact details appropriate to your procedure and health.
