What Is a Male Buccal Fat Removal?

A male buccal fat removal is surgery that removes part of the buccal fat pad in each cheek, through a small incision inside the mouth, to slim full cheeks and give a man a leaner, more defined face.

The buccal fat pad sits deep in the hollow of the cheek. Its size varies from man to man, and it can differ between your two cheeks. It sits inside a thin fibrous capsule, which keeps it from being used up like fat elsewhere in your body.

Buccal fat removal works on the cheek hollow itself. Fat under the chin or along the jaw is a different area, treated by other procedures, and your surgeon tells you which area is behind the fullness you see.

Male Buccal Fat Removal: Your Questions Answered

What is male buccal fat removal?

Male buccal fat removal is surgery that removes part of the fat pad in each cheek, through a cut inside the mouth, to slim full cheeks. It gives a man’s face a leaner, more defined look, with no visible scar.

Is buccal fat removal good for men?

It can be, if your cheeks are full and round rather than lean. Men with thin, narrow faces are usually advised against it, because removing the fat can make the face look gaunt with age.

How is male buccal fat removal done?

Your surgeon makes a small incision inside your mouth, on the inner side of each cheek, and removes part of the fat pad. The incision is closed with stitches that usually dissolve, and you are under local anesthesia with sedation, or general anesthesia.

How long does male buccal fat removal take?

About 30 to 60 minutes. You go home the same day; if you had sedation or general anesthesia, someone should take you home and stay with you the first night.

How long does it take to heal after male buccal fat removal?

Most men need 2 to 3 weeks to recover. You start on a liquid diet for several days, may use a mouth rinse to prevent infection, and should not play with the stitches with your tongue; the swelling goes down over several weeks.

How much fat is removed in a male buccal fat removal?

Part of each pad, a small amount: in a review of published cases, the average removed was about 2.7 millilitres. Your surgeon removes what your face needs and leaves the rest, so your cheeks do not look hollow.

Does male buccal fat removal last?

The fat your surgeon removes is taken out, so the change lasts. Long-term studies are few, though, and your face still changes with your weight and with age, which is why a stable weight matters before surgery.

Does buccal fat removal age a man’s face?

It can, if your face is already thin: removing the fat can make a thin, narrow face look gaunt with age. No study has yet followed patients long enough to measure its effect on ageing, so your surgeon checks your face shape first.

Is male buccal fat removal safe?

Serious problems are uncommon, but complications are not: in a review of 308 patients, one in four had one, mostly swelling, jaw stiffness, pain or unevenness. Rarer risks include bleeding, infection, injury to the salivary duct and weakness of a facial nerve, and your surgeon goes through them with you before surgery.

Can men remove buccal fat without surgery?

Not the fat pad itself: it sits deep in the cheek inside a thin capsule, and it is reduced by removing part of it through the mouth. If your fullness lies elsewhere, your surgeon may suggest a different treatment.

Is buccal fat removal worth it for men?

For the right face, most patients are pleased: in a review of published cases, 84.6% said their facial contour was much better and the rest said it was better. The studies are small and short, so the key is choosing it for full cheeks, not for a face that is already lean.

Does insurance cover male buccal fat removal?

Usually not. Health insurance treats a cosmetic buccal fat removal as elective, so it does not pay for it.
