Buccal Fat Removal

What is Buccal Fat Removal?

Buccal Fat Removal reduces prominent buccal fat pads from the treated area to create a slimmer midface contour when fullness persists despite stable weight. At AesthatiQ partner clinics, your surgeon evaluates facial balance, skin elasticity, and long-term ageing before recommending removal — because over-reduction can look hollow later. Recovery is relatively short; subtle definition becomes clearer as internal swelling resolves.

How does it work?

Buccal Fat Removal is performed by trained clinicians using clinically validated protocols. The plan is customised to your goals, anatomy, and recovery preferences after a detailed assessment.

Is this right for you?

• Adults with stable weight and persistent cheek fullness on the treated area

• Those with realistic expectations about subtle rather than dramatic change

• People whose facial structure suits midface slimming after clinician assessment

• Candidates willing to follow soft-diet and oral-hygiene instructions during healing

When will I see results?

Timelines vary by person. For Buccal Fat Removal, visible change is typically expected around: Early slimming once swelling drops; final contour often clearer at 4–8 weeks.

1. Day 0–2

   Intra-oral soreness and cheek swelling; soft diet and mouth rinses

2. 1 week

   Swelling improving; return to desk work for many

3. 2–4 weeks

   Contour refinement as internal swelling settles

4. 2–3 months

   Final cheek definition more apparent
