Buccal fat has a very different texture and structure from subcutaneous fat
The photo above shows the actual buccal fat that was removed during the author’s buccal fat removal surgery. The spacing of the ruler is 1 mm.
Typical subcutaneous fat is made up of small fat particles, but buccal fat is connected as large fat masses enclosed in a capsule.
If analyzed more specifically, it is composed of four tails centered around the main body.
In this kind of buccal fat removal surgery, it is generally appropriate to remove about 4 to 5 cc of fat from one side.
Also, one thing that must always be kept in mind during this type of surgery is that the most important thing is to take care not to damage the salivary glands or salivary ducts inside the mouth.
