Buccal Fat Removal
Define Your Features and Ditch the "Baby Face" with Beverly Hills’ Expert Facial Surgeon
Do you find that no matter how much you exercise or how healthy you eat, your face retains a roundness that masks your true jawline? You are not alone. For many, genetics plays a vital role in the stubborn fat pads present in the lower cheeks. This creates a permanent “baby face” or “chipmunk” appearance, regardless of body weight.
At Shape U Deserve in Beverly Hills, Dr. Ashu Garg offers a solution that makeup can only mimic. As a renowned cosmetic surgeon,he specializes in Buccal Fat Removal. A procedure known for precision and designed to reveal the hidden beauty of your cheekbones and sharpen your jawline without external scarring.
What Is Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal fat removal, also called buccal lipectomy, is a facial contouring procedure that reduces a portion of the buccal fat pad through a small incision inside the mouth. By decreasing volume in the lower cheek, the face can appear more tapered and defined, especially along the cheekbone and lower midface.
As the incision is internal, there is typically no visible external scarring, and the result is designed to complement natural bone structure rather than replace it.
Benefits of Buccal Fat Removal in Beverly Hills
Buccal fat removal is often chosen for one clear reason: it reduces stubborn cheek fullness and enhances natural facial definition without looking overdone.

Are You a Good Candidate for Buccal Fat Removal Surgery?
You might be a good fit if:
- You are healthy and maintain a stable weight
- Your cheeks appear consistently full, and facial definition is a top concern
- You want refinement in shape, not a major change in identity
- You do not smoke, or you are willing to stop before and after surgery
- Your face has enough structure and volume to support a slimming procedure long-term
Buccal fat removal is not ideal for every face type. If facial volume is already limited or if the face is naturally narrow, removing buccal fat may create a hollow appearance over time. A consultation in Beverly Hills helps determine whether buccal reduction supports long-term facial balance.
What Is the Cost of Buccal Fat Removal in Beverly Hills?
The cost of buccal fat removal in Beverly Hills varies based on anesthesia, facility fees, surgical planning complexity, and whether other facial contouring procedures are added. Shape U Deserve provides transparent pricing and financing options.
A final quote is given after an in-person consultation at the Beverly Hills office once facial anatomy, goals, and the appropriate approach are confirmed.
What is the Procedure of Buccal Fat Removal Surgery?
Once anesthesia is administered, the procedure typically follows a structured approach:
- Internal incision placement inside each cheek
- Precise exposure of the buccal fat pad
- Conservative removal based on facial shape goals
- Symmetry evaluation before closure
Closure with dissolvable sutures designed for clean healing
Recovery After Buccal Fat Removal Surgery
After surgery, swelling and mild cheek soreness are common. A gentle recovery plan typically includes soft foods for a short period, careful oral hygiene, and activity limits while swelling settles.
Many patients return to desk-based work within about a week, though full contour refinement takes longer. Facial definition continues to improve as swelling resolves and the cheeks settle over the following months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still need help? Give Us a Call
How long do buccal fat removal results last?
Buccal fat removal is considered long-lasting because the removed portion of the fat pad does not regenerate. Facial aging and weight changes can still influence overall appearance over time.
Will there be visible scars?
The incision is usually inside the mouth, so external scarring is not expected.
When will results be noticeable?
Initial changes may be visible once early swelling improves, but the final contour typically develops over several months as the cheeks fully settle.
Is buccal fat removal safe for every face type?
Not always. Patients with narrow faces or limited natural volume may not be ideal candidates due to the risk of looking overly hollow later.
How soon can normal work resume?
Many patients with desk-based schedules return within about a week, depending on swelling and comfort levels. More physical routines may require longer.
Is buccal fat removal the same as cheek liposuction?
No. Buccal fat removal targets a deeper fat pad in the cheek, while liposuction typically addresses more superficial fat.
Can buccal fat removal be combined with other procedures?
Yes. It is often planned with other contouring or refinement procedures when a more comprehensive facial balance goal is desired.
