One of the most popular facial cosmetic surgeries trending this year for both women and men is a procedure known as buccal reduction, the removal of buccal fat pads from your mid-cheeks. Dr. Michael Somenek specializes in buccal fat pad reduction procedures that can slim and contour your face. Discover why this facial surgery has become the most-requested cosmetic procedure and how you can have defined cheek hollows as if you were naturally puckering your lips.
Are You a Prime Candidate for Buccal Fat Pad Reduction?
To join in the popularity for undergoing this trending procedure, here are some key factors for determining if you are a suitable candidate for buccal fat pad reduction:
- You have round or chubby cheeks (baby face) and want a sleek, feminine facial shape
- You are in good physical condition with an acceptable Body Mass Index (BMI)
- You’re a man looking for a more mature look with a strong jawline
- Ideally, you’re a non-smoker
The Simplicity of Buccal Fat Pad Reduction Surgery
This quick and painless procedure is conveniently performed by Dr. Somenek in our state-of-the-art-surgical suite, with your being under either local (awake) or general (asleep) anesthesia.
Step-by-Step Buccal Fat Reduction treatment:
- Lidocaine is injected into your cheeks to numb the removal area
- Precise surgical incisions are made around the inside of your mouth.
- Buccal fat pads are then removed with precision
- The incisions are closed with sutures
If you choose to undergo local anesthesia and stay awake – like most of our patients – you can expect to return home right after the procedure, which typically takes no more than an hour to perform. You will experience minimal post-op downtime.
Consider Other Simultaneous Facial Procedures
While undergoing your buccal fat pad reduction, Dr. Somenek can strategically and efficiently perform other simple facial cosmetic procedures at the same time, such as:
- Lip augmentation
- Rhinoplasty
- Even a facelift
Benefits of other facial cosmetic procedures simultaneous with your buccal fat pad reduction:
- Minimizes the number of surgical incisions required
- Reduces procedure time
- Allows for a quicker recovery time
