Buccal fat removal is a simple procedure that can remove bulging cheek fat within 10 minutes through a roughly 10 mm incision inside the mouth under local anesthesia.
As shown in the figure above, buccal fat removal can also be easily performed through the surgical site during zygoma reduction surgery or jaw angle surgery, and in many cases, the buccal fat that naturally protrudes during the procedure is removed as needed.
Therefore, when performing facial contouring procedures such as jaw angle surgery or zygoma reduction surgery, buccal fat removal can be done easily without requiring a separate incision.
On the other hand, after facial contouring surgery, the cheek area may appear full due to swelling. Even if a new intraoral incision is made because this is mistaken for buccal fat, there may be no buccal fat left to remove, or it may only cause unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, if you have previously undergone facial contouring surgery, it is advisable to first confirm whether buccal fat was removed at the time of surgery before deciding on buccal fat removal surgery.
