Have full or rounded cheeks that make you look heavier than you are — even if you’re slim? Buccal fat removal offers a subtle yet impactful way to slim the lower face, define your cheekbones, and create a more sculpted, contoured appearance.
At South Florida Plastic Surgery, we specialize in natural, balanced facial contouring for patients across Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Boca Raton — helping you look more like the version of yourself you envision.
Buccal fat removal is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that reduces the buccal fat pads in your cheeks — the soft, fatty tissue between your cheekbones and jaw.
The result:
✅ A more angular facial structure
✅ Slimmer lower cheeks (“chipmunk cheeks”)
✅ Improved facial balance and shadow definition

| Week 2 | Resume normal diet and activity; avoid smoking or drinking |
| Week 3–4 | Swelling resolves; definition starts to appear |
| 6–12 Weeks | Full results visible — cheekbones more sculpted and contoured |

Will my cheeks look hollow later in life?
Dr. Nair removes just enough fat for definition without overdoing it — ensuring natural aging won’t leave you looking gaunt.

Are results permanent?
Yes. Once fat is removed, it does not return — but significant weight gain can affect facial fullness overall.
