What is the right amount of Buccal fat removal?

Question

Whay is the amount, in percentage, of Buccal fat that is averagely removed? My surgeon suggest to go with 50%. I would like a chiselled face. In my family the trend while aging is to get a round face.

The amount of buccal fat to be removed should be calculated for each patient individually depending on the patient's anatomy and goals. While some patients are likely to benefit from conservative reductions, while some may benefit from complete removal. Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

John Mesa, MD · Answer

the "right amount" of buccal fat removal depends on the patient's anatomy. Patens with very chubby face may require excision of the entire buccal fat. Patients with mild chubbiness may require suboptimal excision.
