Achieve a Chiseled Look with Buccal Fat Removal

Are you tired of feeling self-conscious about your full cheeks or “chubby” face, even when you’re at a healthy weight? This can often be a source of frustration, making you feel that your face lacks the defined, sculpted look you desire.
At our plastic surgery clinic in Mumbai, we offer a plastic surgery solution: buccal fat removal. This quick, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure targets and removes the excess fat pads in your cheeks that contribute to a round facial shape.

By precisely removing this fat, we can create a slimmer, more contoured appearance, improving your cheekbones and jawline for a more defined and chiseled look.

The results are permanent and can help you achieve the confident, elegant profile you’ve been wanting.

The removal of the buccal fat pads makes the cheekbones and jawline more prominent, leading to a V-shaped or heart-shaped facial structure that is often considered aesthetically pleasing.

The buccal fat pads, once removed, do not grow back. This means the results of the surgery are permanent. Dr. Sanket Shetty focuses on achieving a natural-looking outcome that complements your unique facial structure, ensuring your results are subtle yet transformative.

What is Buccal Fat Removal Surgery?

Buccal fat removal is a surgical procedure designed to slim the cheeks and improve facial contours. It involves making a small incision inside the mouth, near the upper molars, to access and remove the buccal fat pads.

These fat pads are naturally occurring collections of fat that can contribute to a fuller, rounder face. The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia and is a relatively quick procedure. The incisions are then closed with dissolvable sutures, leaving no visible external scars.
