    What is Cheek Reduction Surgery?

    Cheek reduction surgery, also known as buccal fat removal or buccal lipectomy, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce excess fat in the cheeks, resulting in a slimmer and more contoured facial appearance. By targeting the buccal fat pads located in the lower part of the cheeks, this surgery helps to enhance facial definition and create a more angular and aesthetically pleasing profile.

     Benefits of Cheek Reduction Surgery

    Cheek reduction surgery offers numerous benefits, including:

    • Enhanced Facial Definition: Achieve a more sculpted and defined facial contour by reducing prominent cheek fullness.
    • Improved Facial Balance: Create a more proportionate and harmonious look, complementing other facial features.
    • Increased Confidence: Enjoy a boost in self-esteem with a refined and aesthetically pleasing facial profile.
    • Minimally Invasive: The procedure involves small incisions inside the mouth, leading to minimal external scarring and a quicker recovery.
