Buccal fat removal at Dr. Suman's Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Clinic gently extracts excess fat pads from the lower cheeks, sculpting a refined, naturally contoured face with highlighted cheekbones and a slimmer jawline.
Book a Facial Assessment See the ProcedureBuccal fat pad excision is a specialized facial contouring procedure that targets the distinct, encapsulated pads of fat in the lower cheeks. While weight loss can shrink subcutaneous fat, these deep buccal pads are largely genetic and resistant to diet. By removing them, we can thin the lower face and emphasize the cheekbones for a permanently sculpted "V-shape" look.
The entire procedure is performed through tiny incisions made on the inside of your mouth, leaving your facial skin completely unblemished.
By reducing the volume in the lower cheeks, the natural prominence of your upper cheekbones becomes far more defined and elegant.
Buccal fat pads are largely hereditary. If you have a naturally round or "chipmunk" face despite being fit, this surgery directly targets the cause.
Healthy adults with overly full, round lower cheeks who desire a slimmer, more chiseled, and mature facial contour.
Dr. Suman evaluates your facial structure to determine exactly how much buccal fat should be removed to achieve a balanced, subtly sculpted look without over-hollowing.
The procedure is typically performed in-office under local anesthesia. The inside of your cheeks is completely numbed so you remain comfortable and pain-free.
A small incision is made inside the mouth near the upper molars. The encapsulated buccal fat pad is gently teased out and carefully excised.
The small intraoral incisions are closed using dissolvable stitches that disappear on their own, meaning there is no need for suture removal.
Buccal fat removal is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure, but because the incisions are inside the mouth, your recovery focuses heavily on careful diet and oral hygiene.
Swelling and mild soreness inside the cheeks peak. You will be restricted to a soft, liquid, or cool diet (like smoothies and soups) and instructed to use a special antiseptic mouthwash.
Swelling begins to subside significantly. The dissolvable sutures inside your mouth will start to fall out. Most patients confidently return to work within a few days.
The internal incisions are fully healed, and you can safely return to eating all normal, crunchy, or spicy foods. You may also resume all strenuous exercise routines.
The final, chiseled result is fully revealed. As the last traces of deep tissue swelling resolve and the skin drapes over your new contours, your sculpted cheekbones become prominent.
Dr. Suman uses a conservative approach, removing only the precise amount of fat necessary to contour the face without risking a gaunt or prematurely aged appearance later in life.
Yes. Once the buccal fat pads are removed, they do not grow back. Even with future weight fluctuations, your lower cheeks will remain proportionally slimmer.
The surgery itself is completely painless as it is performed under local anesthesia. Post-operative discomfort is usually very mild and easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and ice packs.
Absolutely. Buccal fat removal is frequently combined with chin liposuction or facial fat grafting to completely transform and define the facial profile in a single session.

Are you tired of rigorous dieting and exercising to lose stubborn pockets of fat? Liposuction is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to remove unwanted fat from specific areas of the body, dramatically improving your natural contours. Dr. Suman Babu, a leading Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon in Hyderabad, offers advanced, customized liposuction procedures tailored to your unique aesthetic goals.
While being overweight often requires a comprehensive diet and exercise plan, liposuction is the ideal solution for localized, treatment-resistant fat. It permanently removes fat cells from areas that do not respond to traditional fitness routines, ensuring a smoother and more sculpted appearance.
As a premier cosmetic surgeon in India, Dr. Suman Babu utilizes the latest, minimally invasive techniques—such as Tumescent, VASER, and Power-Assisted Liposuction—at his Hyderabad clinic. These state-of-the-art modalities ensure maximum safety, lesser blood loss, and superior body contouring with beautiful, long-lasting results.
Liposuction can be used to permanently remove stubborn fat from various parts of the body to help you achieve a harmonious, well-proportioned figure.
Liposuction is a surgical fat removal procedure. During the surgery, the area is numbed, and a small incision is made. A thin tube called a cannula is then inserted to safely break up and suction out stubborn fat deposits, instantly reshaping the targeted area.
The ideal candidate is at or near their target body weight but struggles with localized, diet-resistant fat pockets. For the best body contouring results, you should be in good general health, a non-smoker, and have good skin elasticity to ensure your skin retracts smoothly over your new shape.
Thanks to Dr. Suman Babu's minimally invasive techniques, recovery is relatively fast. Most patients in Hyderabad can safely resume desk jobs and light activities within 5 to 7 days. To minimize swelling and optimize your new contours, you will be advised to wear a specialized compression garment for 4 to 6 weeks.
