Introduction
Have you ever wondered how some people achieve that chiseled, sculpted look in their cheeks?
As aesthetic professionals with years of experience, we’ve seen a growing interest in buccal fat removal surgery among our customers at Wellaholic. This procedure has gained popularity for its ability to slim down the face and enhance facial contours. We’ve noticed that many people are curious about this treatment but aren’t sure what it entails or if it’s right for them.
In this article, we’ll share our knowledge and insights about buccal fat removal surgery, drawing from our experiences at Wellaholic and Laser Clinics Australia. We’ll cover everything you need to know, from the basics of the procedure to its benefits and potential risks. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision about whether this cheek reduction surgery might be a good fit for you.
Fundamentals of Buccal Fat Removal Surgery
We at Wellaholic have seen a growing interest in buccal fat removal surgery among our customers. This procedure, also known as cheek reduction surgery, aims to slim down the face by removing fat pads from the cheeks. As aesthetic professionals, we believe it’s crucial to understand the basics of this surgery before considering it.
The buccal fat pad is a natural cushion in your cheeks that helps with chewing and facial movement. During the surgery, small incisions are made inside the mouth to access and remove some of this fat. The goal is to create a more sculpted look by enhancing cheekbone definition. Typically, the procedure takes about 30 minutes per side and is done under local anesthesia. Recovery is usually quick, with most people returning to work within a few days. However, it’s important to note that results can take several months to fully appear as swelling subsides.
Procedure and Recovery of Buccal Fat Removal
We’ve seen a growing interest in buccal fat removal at Wellaholic. This procedure targets the fat pads in the cheeks to create a more defined facial structure. Here’s what our customers can expect during the process.
The surgery takes about 30 minutes to an hour. We make small incisions inside the mouth to access and remove the buccal fat pads. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return home the same day. Recovery is usually quick, with most people back to their normal routines within a week. Swelling peaks around day three and gradually subsides over the next few weeks. We advise a soft food diet for the first week to aid healing. Full results become visible after about three months when all swelling has resolved. At Wellaholic, we’ve noticed that 90% of our customers are satisfied with their results, reporting a more sculpted appearance to their cheeks and jawline.
Candidates and Consultation for Buccal Fat Removal
We at Wellaholic often get asked about buccal fat removal. It’s a popular procedure, but not everyone is a good fit. In our experience, ideal candidates are usually adults in good health with fuller cheeks. We’ve noticed that about 70% of our customers interested in this procedure are women between 25-40 years old.
During consultations,the doctors should examine their facial structure and discuss their medical history. It’s crucial to set realistic expectations. We’ve found that showing before-and-after photos of past procedures helps customers visualize potential results.
Before and After
After undergoing buccal fat removal surgery, patients can expect to experience a significant change in their facial appearance. The procedure aims to create a slimmer and more contoured look by reducing the fullness in the cheeks. Post-surgery, individuals may notice enhanced cheekbone definition and a more sculpted facial contour.
Expected Results and Post-Surgery Changes
The expected outcome of buccal fat removal surgery includes a more defined facial structure with reduced cheek fullness. Patients often achieve a gaunt appearance that enhances their overall facial aesthetics. Over time, as the swelling subsides and the tissues settle, the final results become more pronounced.
Celebrity Influence on Buccal Fat Removal
Celebrities and influencers have played a significant role in popularizing buccal fat removal surgery. Many people are inspired by the slimming effects of cheek reduction procedures, as seen on social media platforms like TikTok.
