If there is a large amount of buccal fat, this can give the face a round appearance or what is sometimes referred to as a ‘baby face’ or even ‘hamster/chipmunk cheeks’. Buccal fat removal is surgery to reduce the width of round faces.

Buccal fat is found in the cheeks and its presence affects the shape of a person’s face.
If there is a large amount of buccal fat, this can give the face a round appearance or what is sometimes referred to as a ‘baby face’ or even ‘hamster/chipmunk cheeks’. Buccal fat removal is surgery to reduce the width of round faces.
Here we will look more closely at buccal fat and how surgery can help.
The buccal fat pad is a rounded mass of fat in the middle of the cheek, located between facial muscles, in the hollow area beneath the cheekbone. Buccal fat pads are normal and everyone has them. However, the size of these vary from person to person. As mentioned above, the size of the buccal fat pads affects the shape of the face, with larger buccal fat pads giving the face a more round or fuller appearance. People with small buccal fat pads tend to have a more ‘V’ shape face.
There are a few theories as to the practical function of the buccal fat pad which range from aiding us to suckle as babies and to chew, all the way to cushioning the delicate facial muscles.
However it is important to know that these are just theories. Of course we are perfectly able to survive and function without our buccal fat.

Get in TouchBuccal fat removal, also known as cheek reduction surgery or cheek contouring, sees the buccal fat pads completely removed. This makes the face appear thinner and adds contours to the area. Buccal fat removal offers effective, and permanent, results.
This procedure can be combined with other cosmetic surgery procedures such as rhinoplasty or a face lift.
However, buccal fat removal isn’t for everyone and a patient may not be suitable for surgery for one or more of the following reasons:
Buccal fat removal is carried out under a local anesthetic. This is relatively straightforward surgery and there is a quick recovery time. Patients are usually expected to make a complete recovery in around three weeks, subject to following aftercare advice. This includes using a special mouthwash to avoid infection and sticking to a liquid diet in the days immediately after buccal fat removal surgery. Swelling and bruising should be expected following the procedure, but these will disappear quite quickly. The cheeks can take a few months to settle into their new shape.
One of the big benefits of buccal fat removal is that it doesn’t generally produce any visible scarring as the incisions are made inside the mouth. These run from the cheek to the gum.
Although it is generally considered to be a safe surgery, there is a long list of potential complications. These include excessive bleeding, infection, hematoma, lockjaw, seroma (fluid accumulation), damage to the salivary glands, facial nerve damage, deep vein thrombosis, cardiac or pulmonary side effects and facial asymmetry. However, these are not common.
If you are considering buccal fat removal at the Cadogan Clinic, one or our expert surgeons will talk you through what you can expect from buccal fat removal surgery and help you to manage your own expectations.
The cost of buccal fat removal varies from clinic to clinic, but you should expect to pay in the region of £3,000 to £5,000.
