Understanding Buccal Fat Removal

Buccal fat pad removal is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reduce excess facial volume and create more defined cheekbones. This technique targets the buccal fat pads located in the cheeks, helping patients achieve a slimmer, more sculpted facial appearance.

What Causes Chubby Cheeks?

Chubby cheeks can result from multiple factors, including:

  • Genetic predisposition
  • Weight gain
  • Natural aging processes
  • Inherited facial structure

Ideal Candidates for Buccal Fat Reduction

The procedure is most suitable for patients with round or fuller facial features seeking improved facial contours. Candidates should have realistic expectations and be in good overall health.

Procedure Techniques

Dr. Yirae Ort employs advanced surgical techniques for buccal fat reduction, including:

  • Intraoral incision method (minimal scarring)
  • Facelift-associated removal technique
  • Precise fat pad extraction

Potential Benefits of Buccal Fat Removal

Patients can expect multiple aesthetic improvements, such as:

  • Enhanced facial definition
  • More sculpted cheekbones
  • Improved facial symmetry
  • Increased self-confidence

Procedure Details

The buccal fat removal procedure typically involves removing excess fat through a small, strategically placed incision inside the mouth. The surgery can be performed under local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort and minimal downtime.

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to normal activities within 1-2 days. Some initial swelling is normal and will subside gradually, revealing refined facial contours.

Combination Procedures

Many patients choose to combine buccal fat reduction with complementary facial procedures like neck liposuction, chin surgery, or rhinoplasty to achieve comprehensive facial harmony.

Dr. Yirae Ort has been worth the wait! She has perfected the art of facial balancing and meticulous surgical work. She has made wonders with my self confidence and made me feel better about myself. She is kind, personable and realistic with goals. I would highly recommend her as go to practitioner for both surgical and non surgical needs. My recovery has been a breeze after 3 procedures done at the same time. Just speaks on how she manages to get the best results out of good practice ❤️ thank you Dr. Ort.

I am impressed with the incredible results I got from Dr. Ort! I had breathing issues due to collapsed nose structures which I thought would be impossible to repair. But Dr. Ort's expertise in facial surgery is seriously impressive. Patients fly in from all over to see her - and I can understand why. The wait list to get an appointment with Dr. Ort can be long, but trust me, it's worth every minute. I've never been more grateful for waiting patiently for something. Her team is also top-notch - they're super reassuring, responsive, and made me feel like I was in good hands the whole time. From the initial consultation to post-op care, they were always there to answer my questions and calm my nerves. What really sets Dr. Ort apart, though, is her passion for her work. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and is dedicated to delivering the best possible results. I highly recommend Dr. Ort. She's the real deal, and I feel so lucky to have found her. Thanks again, Dr. Ort

There’s a reason Dr. Ort’s booked out months in advance. I’ve hated my chunky flat nose and my receding chin my entire life that I used to get fillers every year just so I don’t hate my profile, which was costly and I did not enjoy having to go through the scare of vascular occlusion every year. When I booked the surgery I was nervous about getting two procedures done at once because I’m only a few month postpartum, still lactating so I was worried about all sorts of things that may happen in the recovery process. Also I have thick skin on my nose and who knows how much fillers left in there even after attempting to dissolve it. Dr. Ort was kind enough to schedule multiple return consultations with me and answered all my questions, the nurses helped me get all ready before the surgery, and the anesthesiologist is just an absolute delight. Here I am writing this two weeks post-op, incisions all healed up, with a new nose and chin that already look so natural (yet different!) that I look like I was BORN with them. I still have a lot of swelling and I can’t wait to see how great things will look once that goes down.
