Compared to other cosmetic procedures, fat removal from cheeks can be performed easily, however, like in any other operation it must be performed by professional doctors and under hospital conditions. Buccal fat removal, performed correctly, makes patients more satisfied with their faces.
The reason for the fat removal is to reshape the face contour. Patients who tried exercises or diets to get rid of the excess fat on their cheeks and couldn’t have results can prefer buccal fat removal to slim down their cheeks and overall face form. Aging may also affect the buccal fat pads to thicken and change the face to become fuller. Anyone who is not satisfied with their round-looking face or fuller cheeks can undergo a buccal fat removal operation to have sharper and more defined cheekbones and cheeks.

Settled facial features are criteria for patients to meet to have a successful operation and efficient results. Following are those who are not advised to undergo the surgery.
If patients over certain age undergo surgery, there is a possible risk for sunken cheeks over time because, in the natural aging process, fat tissue in cheeks reduces. Undesired results are possible if the removal is performed in such cases. For a normal and ideal appearance after the surgery, a certain period is needed. Buccal fat removal operation is for those who are in their ideal weight, but have excess fat on their cheeks.
The process before the removal is related to patients’ lifestyles. The doctor must be informed about the medications patients are on. Patients must stop smoking and consuming alcoholic beverages before the operation because both may cause risky complications for surgery and recovery. The patients must explain their expectations and desired results to the doctor. Realistic expectations are highly important before the surgery. Those who are pregnant and have serious medical conditions are not suitable for the fat removal process. After a physical examination, the operation can be planned.
