Buccal Fat Removal
Buccal Fat Removal, or Bichectomy, is an aesthetic procedure specifically designed to enhance the contours of the face by reducing fullness in the lower cheeks. It works by removing the buccal fat pads, which are located in the lower part of the cheeks, to create a more defined and sculpted facial appearance. The team at Grossman | Capraro Plastic Surgery are industry leaders in this area, bringing a wealth of experience and exceptional artistry to every procedure.
This treatment is ideal for individuals seeking to improve their facial profile, specifically those desiring a more sculpted, less rounded appearance to their cheeks. The results of buccal fat removal become evident a few weeks after surgery as the swelling diminishes and continues to improve over several months as the facial tissues settle. The effects of this surgery are long-lasting, often permanent, as the removed fat pads do not typically regenerate.

As with any surgery, there are risks, but complications are rare when performed by a skilled surgeon like those at Grossman | Capraro Plastic Surgery.
Buccal fat removal targets the cheeks, not the chin area. A neck lift or liposuction may be more appropriate for a double chin.
Most patients return to work and normal activities within a few days to a week.
Buccal fat pads, once removed, generally do not regrow, making the surgery results typically permanent. However, substantial weight gain could alter facial contours by increasing fat elsewhere in the face. For personalized advice, consult with your surgeon.
