The facial area can become excessively fatty over time due to aging or weight gain. With the cheek fat removal procedure, excessive fat on the cheek can be removed and the contour of the face can be reshaped. It is an approach used in aesthetic surgery as one of the facial rejuvenation and thinning aesthetic procedures.
There are buccal fat pads in the natural structure of the cheeks and as the person ages, these fat pads become denser and a chubby cheeked appearance appears. This is an area of fat that is difficult to lose once accumulated. The cheek fat removal procedure targets these buccal fat pads.
In order for the healing process to go faster, smoking and alcohol consumption should be stopped for at least one week before the operation. Blood thinning medications such as aspirin should not be used before the operation. If you have medications that need to be used continuously due to another medical condition, you should definitely inform your doctor before the operation. Pregnant women, breastfeeding women and people in poor general health should not undergo cheek fat removal without consulting their doctor.
