At Dallas Surgical Arts, more and more patients are discovering the benefits of buccal fat removal to achieve a more defined facial profile. Dr. Randy Sanovich, a board-certified facial cosmetic surgeon based in Dallas, excels in this delicate procedure. By precisely removing the right amount of buccal fat, Dr. Sanovich helps each patient attain a sculpted, refined look, enhancing both the contours of the cheeks and the overall aesthetics of the face.
What is Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal fat removal, also known as cheek reduction surgery, targets the buccal fat pads nestled in the middle of your cheeks. These pads can vary greatly in size, and for individuals with larger pads, it can result in a rounded face. By removing these pads, the procedure sharpens the facial features and highlights the natural bone structure, creating a more contoured appearance.
Who is the Ideal Candidate?
Ideal candidates for buccal fat removal are those looking to permanently reduce cheek fullness for a more angular face shape. It's essential for patients to have realistic expectations and a clear understanding of the surgical outcomes. During consultations, Dr. Sanovich discusses each patient's aesthetic goals and how the procedure might affect their facial balance over time, considering that facial fat decreases naturally with age. Removing too much buccal fat can lead to a gaunt appearance, which is why Dr. Sanovich’s expertise is crucial for achieving the right balance or opting for another treatment option that is better for your unique needs.
Procedure and Recovery Insights
The procedure is performed under light anesthesia, making it quick and minimally invasive. Dr. Sanovich makes a discreet incision inside the cheek, removes the fat pad, and closes the incision with sutures that leave no visible scarring. The whole process typically takes about 30 minutes.
Recovery from buccal fat removal is usually swift, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. Some may experience swelling and bruising, but these effects generally subside within a few weeks. Dr. Sanovich and the team at Dallas Surgical Arts provide detailed aftercare instructions and continuous support to ensure smooth healing.
