What is Buccal Fat Removal?
Though some of our Plano, TX patients are looking to achieve fuller, plumper cheeks, many individuals are desiring to reduce cheek fat with buccal fat removal. When you are desiring a more contoured appearance to your face, board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Vu Ho with Beyond Beautiful can provide buccal fat removal with the use of advanced techniques. Also referred to as cheek fat reduction, this procedure precisely targets the cheek area to decrease fat and tissue for a more sculpted, slimmer look. Throughout this treatment, Dr. Ho carefully and delicately removes buccal fat pad tissue that is found within the cheek hollows. The area is then repositioned and redefined so that your cheekbones have a naturally rejuvenated look. Learn more about buccal fat removal with Dr. Ho by contacting Beyond Beautiful to schedule your initial consultation.
How does buccal fat removal work?
Based on the amount of tissue and fat that resides under and around the cheekbones, Dr. Ho will curate a personalized treatment approach for buccal fat removal. For the actual surgery, anesthesia is provided and a small incision is created within the inside of the mouth. Next, the buccal fat pad will be removed and the incisions will be carefully closed with sutures. In some instances, the cheekbones might need to be slightly repositioned, and this can be completed with sutures for a natural, enhanced outcome.

I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience with Dr. Brownlee's office! From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Brownlee and her staff have demonstrated an unparalleled level of attention to detail and dedication to their patients. What sets Dr. Brownlee apart is her personal touch - she takes the time to meet with you individually for each visit, ensuring that you are informed and comfortable every step of the way. Her meticulous nature is evident in every aspect of her practice, from the thoroughness of her consultations to the precision of her surgical technique. I recently underwent surgery with Dr. Brownlee a few days ago, and I can already tell that I made the right decision in choosing her.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does buccal fat removal hurt?
Patients are provided with a form of anesthesia — so buccal fat removal is as comfortable as possible. Our patients should not feel anything during the actual surgery. While recovery may cause a little discomfort, Beyond Beautiful also provides instructions — so patients know what to expect throughout the process.
When will I see results from buccal fat removal?
Outcomes from buccal fat removal will be noticeable once the initial swelling has gone down. While the healing process varies from patient to patient, results are often seen after a few weeks. A board-certified facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Ho can give you a more accurate timeline during your consultation.
Should I expect scarring from buccal fat removal?
Not at all! The incisions for buccal fat removal are located inside the mouth, so you should not expect any scarring. This means you can get the procedure done and not worry about how your face will look with scars. If you have other questions about what to expect during surgery or recovery, call a member of our cosmetic surgery team for more information.
What can I expect After Buccal Fat Removal?
After buccal fat removal surgery, patients may notice some slight bruising, swelling, and minor discomfort during the healing process. The total amount of time for the recovery period is usually quite quick. Immediately after this treatment, even with some swelling, the initial results can be seen immediately. As soon as the swelling has gone down and the cheeks adjust to their new position, the final outcome can become noticeable, leaving patients with slimmer and well-defined cheeks.
