Buccal fat pad removal is a quick and safe cosmetic procedure that eliminates the appearance of chipmunk cheeks. Dr. Demetri can take care of your buccal fat pad removal in Tampa to help you achieve more enhanced facial contours.
Buccal fat refers to the fat pads that are located in the lower portion of the cheeks. If abundant, they can give off the appearance of being overweight. This is often referred to as ‘chipmunk cheeks.’ This hereditary condition of too much fat in the lower cheeks is difficult to be treated with diet or exercise. For patients who suffer from this, Dr. Demetri will often perform a buccal fat removal procedure.
Also known as a buccal lipectomy, this minimally invasive procedure is performed inside the mouth, which means there are no visible post-surgical marks after the surgery. The results are enhanced cheekbones and a more-chiseled jawline.
Anybody as young as age 18 who is bothered by prominent baby fat on their face can undergo buccal fat pad removal. As long as you are generally healthy, you could be a perfect candidate for the procedure. It’s also important that you have realistic expectations for the outcome of this surgery.
Setting up an initial consultation with Dr. Demetri is important to determine whether you are an ideal candidate for buccal fat pad removal. He will discuss the details of the procedure and address any questions you may have.
