Buccal fat removal can be a powerful procedure to help slim and contour the face in those with chubby cheeks. It can be used as a stand-alone procedure or combined with other surgeries or non-surgical cosmetic procedures to maximize the overall results. These procedures can be used in conjunction to help create proportion among the facial features. Non-surgical procedures such as dermal fillers and chemical peels are used to help enhance facial features and help to remove skin damage and signs of aging. Various surgical procedures are often combined with buccal fat pad removal to enhance the rejuvenating effects of these procedures. Often, facelifts, neck lifts, neck and submental liposuction, fat grafting to the face (cheeks, chin), and cheek implants are used in combination with buccal fat removal.  Combining procedures can help target many problem areas with one surgery. However, the recovery can substantially change depending on the procedures added. Therefore, if you are considering addressing multiple areas, the expert recommendations of Dr. Shoenfeld will ensure the best combination of procedures is used to maximize your results while minimizing the risk of complications.
