Yes. Buccal fat pads provide volume to the cheeks and are located just under your cheekbones. Larger, more prominent fat pads can thus give the face a more rounded and fuller appearance that is often associated with a youthful appearance (“babyface”). Although this can improve as we age, some buccal fat pads remain more prominent than others resulting in bothersome areas. The surgical removal of the buccal fat pads can provide a solution to this problem area. Removing the buccal fat pad results in a slimmer, more sculpted facial contour that promotes a more professional and mature appearance.
