Buccal Fat Pad Removal in Boise, ID

Buccal Fat Pad Removal

If you have naturally round checks and are looking for a more contoured facial appearance, then we have just the procedure for you. Buccal fat pad removal, commonly known as cheek reduction surgery, is the removal of the fat pad which is naturally occurring in the hollows of the cheeks. By removing this fat, it can improve cheek contour as well as provide a more tapered facial structure. Those with full round cheeks most benefit from this procedure—as by removing the fat pads creates a slimmer appearance. This is a quick procedure that is done here at our Boise, ID office by Dr. Jason Nealy.

Benefits of Buccal Fat Pad Removal

What to Expect During the Procedure?

Buccal fat pad removal is performed as a minimally invasive procedure, typically under local anesthesia or sedation. The surgeon makes a small incision inside the mouth to access and remove the buccal fat pads. The entire process usually takes about an hour, and because the incisions are made inside the mouth, there are no visible scars.

Recovery and Result

Following the procedure, mild swelling is normal and should subside within a few weeks. Most patients can return to work and regular activities within a few days. As the swelling decreases, you’ll notice your new, refined facial contours emerging, with the full results visible within a few months.

Who is a good candidate for buccal fat pad removal ?
