Benefits of Buccal Fat Removal

- Helps Boost Self-Confidence
- Provides Long-Term Results With a Natural Look
Buccal Fat surgery is an effective plastic surgery procedure to remove fat in the lower cheek area, giving the lower part of the face a more V-Shape appearance with only local anesthesia. Buccal fat is a pad of adipose (fat) tissue in the cheek beneath each cheekbone that varies from person to person; the more fat present, the rounder the face can appear.
This procedure has recently become popular among patients wanting to enhance their facial aesthetics, offering a recovery period that is relatively short and not too painful, so patients can resume their daily activities in as little time as possible.
Before undergoing buccal fat removal, a doctor's evaluation is needed to assess facial structure, fat thickness, and skin elasticity so the result remains proportional and looks natural. Not every face shape is suited to this procedure, so the treatment plan must be tailored to each patient's condition.
Age and expectations for the result also need to be considered. Buccal fat removal aims to define facial contour, not to drastically change the shape of the face. Consulting with an experienced doctor is essential to ensure the procedure is performed safely and delivers optimal results.
La Reine Aesthetic is the right choice for buccal fat removal because it offers a safe, personalized medical approach, starting with a thorough consultation and facial evaluation to tailor the procedure to each patient's facial contour. The procedure is handled by experienced plastic surgery specialists with precise techniques.
Supported by modern, comfortable clinic facilities in Menteng, Central Jakarta, strict medical standards, and competitive pricing, La Reine Aesthetic offers a safe, comfortable, and high-value treatment experience for a more defined, confident face.

FAQ
Buccal Fat Frequently Asked Questions

Recovery generally takes around 3-7 days, marked by gradually reduced swelling and bruising around the cheek area.
No. Incisions are made entirely inside the mouth (intraoral), so there is no visible scar on the outside of the face.
