Buccal fat pad reduction is a cosmetic procedure that sculpts and defines the mid-face by carefully removing excess fat from the cheeks. This reduces facial roundness and creates a slimmer, more contoured look — especially along the cheekbones and jawline.
At Dr M’s Aesthetics, every treatment is planned with precision to ensure a naturally refined result that complements your unique facial anatomy.
A small intraoral (inside the mouth) incision is made to gently access and remove a portion of the buccal fat pad — with no external scars.
This procedure:
Enhances cheekbone definition
Reduces “chubby cheeks” or facial fullness
Creates a sharper and more sculpted jawline
Improves overall facial symmetry
Benefits
✔️ Slimmer, V-shaped facial appearance
✔️ Improved contour of cheeks and lower face
✔️ No visible external scars
✔️ Permanent results when combined with healthy lifestyle
✔️ Quick procedure with minimal downtime
