Dr. Ellen Mahony, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Westport, CT, specializes in buccal fat removal to help patients achieve a more sculpted facial appearance. With her extensive experience and patient-focused approach, Dr. Mahony tailors each procedure to enhance natural bone structure and reduce the appearance of fuller cheeks.
What Is Buccal Fat Pad Removal?
This minimally invasive surgery is designed to eliminate excess fat from the hollows of the cheeks. The surgeon carefully sculpts this area and creates a more defined and proportionate facial structure. Buccal fat pad removal is ideal for individuals looking to enhance their natural bone structure and reduce the appearance of a “baby face.”
Who Makes a Good Candidate?
- Fuller Cheeks: You may be an excellent candidate if you have naturally fuller cheeks that give your face a rounded appearance. Buccal fat removal can provide a more angular, defined look.
- Stable Weight: You should maintain weight since fluctuations affect facial fat distribution. This ensures that the results of the procedure remain consistent over time.
- Good Overall Health: Like any surgical procedure, good candidates are healthy and free from medical conditions that could impair healing.
- Realistic Expectations: It’s essential to clearly understand what the procedure can achieve. While buccal fat removal enhances facial contours, it won’t drastically change your appearance.
Who May Not Be a Candidate?
Buccal fat removal may be unsuitable for individuals with naturally thin faces or those concerned about losing volume as they age. Excessive fat removal can sometimes lead to a gaunt appearance in the future.
