Buccal Fat Reduction Newport Beach, CA | FACEOLOGYMD - Dr. Raymond Lee

Understanding Buccal Fat Reduction Surgery

Buccal fat reduction, or lower cheek reduction surgery, is a specialized facial plastic surgery procedure designed to create a slimmer, more sculpted lower face. This procedure targets excess buccal fat, typically a hereditary condition that does not respond to traditional weight loss methods.

Procedure Overview

• Performed through a small incision inside the mouth
• Typically completed under local anesthesia
• Surgery takes less than 30 minutes
• Buccal fat pad is approximately the size of a deflated golf ball

Candidate Considerations for Buccal Fat Reduction in Newport Beach

Dr. Raymond Lee, a board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, carefully evaluates each patient's facial structure during consultation. Not all patients are ideal candidates for this procedure, and a thorough assessment ensures optimal results.

Key Evaluation Factors

• Facial fat distribution
• Overall health condition
• Patient's aesthetic goals
• Potential surgical risks

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect some initial swelling, redness, and tenderness following the procedure. Recovery typically takes several days, with gradual improvement in facial contours. Patients should avoid trauma to the surgical area to ensure optimal healing.

Surgical Preparation Guidelines

• Avoid NSAIDs and herbal supplements
• Discontinue smoking before and after surgery
• Follow pre-operative and post-operative instructions carefully

Combining Procedures for Enhanced Results

Buccal fat reduction can be strategically combined with other facial procedures like facelifts or chin implants to further enhance facial contours and achieve a more comprehensive aesthetic transformation.
