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.
Benefits of a Cheek Reduction Surgery

Improve
Facial Contours
By reducing the volume in the lower cheeks, buccal fat removal creates a more defined and chiseled look. This procedure is especially effective for individuals with naturally round or "chubby" faces who desire a more sculpted appearance.

Defines Cheekbones and Jawline
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.

Permanent and Natural-Looking Results
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.

Boosts
Self-Confidence
Many individuals who are self-conscious about their round face find that buccal fat removal significantly boosts their self-esteem and confidence, allowing them to feel more comfortable and happy with their appearance.
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.
How Our Buccal Fat Removal Surgery Works

Consultation
Your journey begins with a private consultation with Dr. Sanket Shetty. He will listen to your aesthetic goals, evaluate your facial structure, and determine if you are a suitable candidate. He will also explain the procedure in detail, discuss potential outcomes, and answer all your questions.

Precise and Scar-Free Surgery
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia in a sterile environment. Dr. Shetty makes a small incision inside the mouth, carefully isolates the buccal fat pad, and gently removes a portion of it to achieve the desired contour. The incision is then closed with dissolvable sutures, ensuring there are no visible external scars.

Quick and Comfortable Recovery
After the procedure, you will be able to go home the same day. You may experience some mild swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication.

Gradual and Permanent Results
The initial results may be masked by swelling, but as the swelling subsides over the next few weeks, your new, more contoured facial appearance will become visible. The full, permanent results will be evident within a few months.
