Answer: Buccal Fat Pad Removal Candidate When a patient has a full and round face and despite weight loss the fullness persist or if the patient is in his normal weight and the chipmunk faces has stayed all the time, a bichectomy or buccal fat pad removal is useful. It´s true that with aging the buccal fat pad tends to diminish in volume do to atrophy, but if the volume is excessive a bichectomy will not hollow the cheek overtime. Many patients are happy with the results, a proper selection is a very important manner. Usually the procedure takes less than 10 min and you can go homethe same day. You'll be able to go back to work on the 3rd day post-op but 1 week off would be more comfortable.

Answer: Buccal fat removal for a more chiseled look Dear salehaabdul,Thank you for your questions and sharing your photographs. From the photos, it would appear that you would be a good candidate for buccal fat removal to achieve your results. However, an in person consultation would be needed to assess this more closely. Buccal fat removal is a "scarless" procedure with the incision made within the mouth, just near the upper teeth. This is done as a procedure under local anaesthesia and it takes about 15-20 mins. You will have some swelling for the next 1-2 weeks before it settles.I hope this answers your question. Have a great week ahead and all the best!Dr. Terence Goh Plastic Surgeon, SingaporeMBBS (S'pore), MRCS (Edinburgh), MMed (S’pore)Fellow, Academy of Medicine, Singapore (Plastic Surgery)President, Singapore Association of Plastic Surgeons (SAPS)International Member, American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)

Answer: Cheek fullness? Buccal Fat Excision Candidate Buccal fat excision is an appropriate surgical procedure for patients that of overly full and wide cheek areas. In common terms, it is good for patients who have chipmunk cheeks. In reviewing your pictures, is difficult to tell if you're a good candidate because your cheek area is slightly full but not overly full. You are a patient that would need an in person consultation for a complete evaluation and explanation of the positives and negatives of these procedures in your situation. I hope this helps.
