BUCCAL FAT PAD REMOVAL
Full cheeks seem like a desirable feature, but some men and women feel that their cheeks are too heavy, leading to prominent jowls and a round, full face. Those pinchable cheeks every mother is fond of may be cosmetically unappealing for some.
The buccal fat pad is a round pocket of fat that is easily found in the lower cheeks. The presence of a large buccal pad can make the cheeks look round and full.
A surgical procedure known as buccal fat pad excision places a small incision inside the mouth to remove the buccal pad. This helps define the cheekbones and jawline. Buccal fat pad removal is among the specialty surgeries performed at Kare Plastic Surgery and Cosmetic Dermatology Center in Santa Monica.
