Buccal Fat Removal

Buccal fat removal—also known as cheek reduction surgery—sculpts the midface by reducing excess fullness in the lower cheeks. This procedure refines facial contours, creating a slimmer, more defined look while preserving natural softness and balance.

At our New York offices in Manhattan and Great Neck, Dr. Thomas Loeb, a board-certified plastic surgeon, specializes in precision facial contouring. His approach to buccal fat removal enhances cheek definition subtly, ensuring results that appear natural and harmonized with the patient’s features.

Below are examples of buccal fat removal before and after photos showing real patients who underwent cheek reduction surgery with Dr. Loeb. Each transformation demonstrates how carefully targeted fat removal can enhance facial structure—highlighting cheekbones, refining the jawline, and balancing overall proportions.

Dr. Loeb performs this procedure with meticulous precision through small incisions inside the mouth, leaving no visible scars. The result is a more sculpted, youthful appearance that still looks entirely natural.

What to Expect When You Choose Dr. Loeb

Buccal fat removal is ideal for individuals who have naturally round or full cheeks and desire a more contoured facial profile. Dr. Loeb tailors each treatment plan to the patient’s anatomy and goals, ensuring results that complement their natural bone structure rather than create excessive hollowness.

Ideal Candidates for Buccal Fat Removal:

  • Fuller or “baby-faced” cheeks despite a healthy weight
  • Desire for greater cheekbone definition
  • Stable body weight and overall good health
  • Realistic expectations for subtle, refined contouring

What to Expect During Recovery

Recovery from buccal fat removal is typically brief. Most patients experience mild swelling for several days and can resume normal activities within 3–5 days. Because incisions are made inside the mouth, there are no external scars. Final results continue to refine over several weeks as swelling subsides and the cheeks take on a more sculpted appearance.
