Buccal fat removal in San Diego

Buccal fat reduction can improve cheek contour and facial definition by softening excess fullness in the lower cheeks. When performed on carefully selected patients, it can create a slimmer, more sculpted appearance while preserving natural facial harmony. Results become more apparent gradually as swelling resolves.

Ideal candidates are individuals with fuller or rounder lower cheeks who desire improved facial definition and maintain a stable weight. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations. Buccal fat reduction is not recommended for patients with naturally thin faces, as facial volume naturally decreases with age.

This procedure targets the buccal fat pads located deep within the lower cheeks. Selective reduction of this fat refines the contour of the mid to lower face without affecting surrounding facial structures.
