Buccal Fat Reduction Plainfield, IL | Plastic Surgeon - Tripti Burt, MD

Understanding Buccal Fat Pad Reduction

Buccal fat pads are rounded deeper fat structures located within the cheeks, between the jaw and cheekbones. Genetic factors primarily determine their size, influencing facial appearance. Patients often seek buccal fat reduction to address "chubby cheeks" or a rounded facial profile that remains unchanged by diet and exercise.

Procedure Overview

Buccal fat reduction is a minimally invasive surgical technique designed to slim and contour the face. The procedure involves:

• A small incision inside the cheek
• Gentle removal of excess buccal fat
• Approximately 30-minute surgical time
• Performed with local anesthesia or nitrous oxide

Ideal Candidates for Buccal Fat Reduction

The most suitable candidates for this facial contouring procedure typically:

• Demonstrate good overall health
• Are non-smokers
• Possess realistic aesthetic expectations
• Have a soft, rounded facial structure

Surgical Process and Expectations

A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Tripti Burt will assess your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. The procedure may be combined with complementary treatments like chin implants or neck liposuction for optimal results.

Recovery and Results

Post-surgical recovery involves minimal downtime. Patients can expect initial swelling to subside within one to two weeks, with final results becoming apparent around six months after the procedure. Results are considered permanent, offering long-lasting facial sculpting.
