Cheek Sculpting Buccal Fat Reduction Houston, TX | Dr. Kristy L. Hamilton

What is Buccal Fat Reduction?

Buccal Fat Reduction is an advanced surgical technique designed to accentuate cheekbones and create a slimmer, more defined lower face. This procedure targets the buccal fat pad located between the cheekbone and jawbone, responsible for creating fuller, "baby-face" or "chipmunk cheeks".

Procedure Overview

• Surgical approach to facial contouring
• Performed under local anesthesia
• Minimally invasive with hidden incisions inside the mouth
• Transforms overly full, round cheeks into a more sculpted profile

Candidate Evaluation for Buccal Fat Reduction

Dr. Hamilton conducts a meticulous facial analysis to determine ideal candidates. Patients are often evaluated by examining facial structure and genetic predisposition to round facial features. The goal is to reduce, not completely remove, buccal fat to prevent a gaunt appearance.

Surgical Technique

Dr. Hamilton creates two tiny incisions inside the mouth, one on each cheek. Using precise surgical techniques, she carefully reduces the buccal fat pads to create a more elegant, diamond-shaped facial contour. The procedure optimizes facial balance and highlights natural, youthful contours.

Recovery and Results

Dissolvable sutures are used internally, typically healing within 1-2 weeks. The procedure results in a leaner, more attractive facial profile with enhanced cheek definition and improved overall facial harmony.
