If you know where the buccal fat is,

you can understand why the buccal fat

has not been reduced by procedures such as thread lifting or InMode,

or by dieting.

If you check the image shown now,

you’ll see that the buccal fat is located deeper than ordinary cheek fat

and is a structure inside the mouth.

Because the buccal fat is an intraoral structure,

it cannot be affected by procedures

and must be removed through surgery.

However, many people feel hesitant about surgery,

wondering whether the buccal fat should be removed,

or worrying about the recovery period and side effects.

At Kim Hyungjin Basic,

to help ease these concerns,

the procedure is performed through an intraoral lower jaw incision,

selectively removing only the unnecessary fat,

which helps reduce the typical side effect of buccal fat removal—cheek hollowing—

and makes it possible to remove fat that is adhered to the skin as well.

However, lower jaw buccal fat removal is a procedure of some difficulty,

so we recommend receiving surgery from a board-certified plastic surgeon

who has extensive surgical experience and know-how

and performs the operation with delicate hand technique.

performs one-on-one customized surgery,
