Up until the tail-end of 2022 buccal fat, and specifically buccal fat removal, were not words that had entered into my vocabulary. That December my, and the world’s, lexicon expanded thanks to a certainrevealed - via a selfie on Instagram because, what else - that she had undergone something she called ‘that buccal fat removal thing’.
Ah, the results. ‘Generally the procedure aims to achieve a more sculpted and defined facial contour by reducing the fullness in the cheek area,’ says Cavale who is keen to point out that the procedure is permanent and that ‘as you age, the face tends to thin. If you have had buccal fat removed, you can end up looking over-thin, almost skeleton-like.’
Despite sounding like a drastic procedure buccal fat removal can be done under local anaesthetic, although you can opt to have it done under general anaesthetic if that’s your preference. In terms of pain and downtime that’s also dependent on the individual. However, given that the procedure involves only a small incision and stitches the pain is generally minimal.
In theory, you could add volume back in if the effect was too hollow. Fat transfer and injections are generally the go-to’s here. However, Cavale warns that “you won’t ever be able to fully replicate what they looked like naturally before removing them.”Remember, buccal fat isn’t linked to body weight. However ,Dr Cavale points out that, “if you are the type of person who tends to easily gain weight on your face, you might see a difference here.
