The Procedure

What is Buccal Fat Removal?

Buccal fat removal, also known as bichectomy, is a surgical procedure that removes the buccal fat pads from the cheeks. These fat pads are located in the lower portion of the cheeks and can create a "chubby" or round appearance even in individuals at a healthy weight.

At Vive Med Spa, our board-certified surgeons perform buccal fat removal through small incisions inside the mouth, ensuring no visible scarring. The result is a more sculpted, defined lower face with prominent cheekbones.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal fat removal is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from the buccal fat pads located in the cheeks. This creates a more sculpted, defined facial contour with prominent cheekbones and a slimmer lower face appearance.
Is buccal fat removal permanent?
Yes. Once the buccal fat pads are removed, they do not regenerate. The results are permanent, though natural aging will continue to affect facial appearance over time.
Is the procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation, so you won't feel pain during the surgery. Post-procedure discomfort is typically mild and can be managed with prescribed pain medication.
What is the recovery time?
Most patients return to normal activities within 2-3 days. Initial swelling and bruising typically resolve within 1-2 weeks. Final results are visible within 3-6 months once all swelling subsides.
