A naturally occurring pad of fat in the cheek hollow area is called as Buccal Fat Pad. This Buccal Fat Pad varies in size and volume with each individual patient. This pad does not have any relation with the body fat and can be present in people with leaner profile. Regardless, buccal fat pads can impact the facial shape. Large buccal fat pads can make the face look too round or full. The cheeks can look disproportionate to the nose, eyes, and other facial features. The surgical procedure which is used to thin the cheeks specifically in the areas of the cheek hollows is called as Buccal Fat Removal, also known as cheek fat removal or buccal lipectomy. It is a surgery that creates a more contoured facial appearance and is generally used to reduce the appearance of chubby cheeks that appear due to genetics or weight gain. Cheek reduction surgery helps an individual improve not only the appearance of the cheeks but brings harmony to the overall facial shape.
This fat removal technique is not for the people with thin face or narrow face.

Both buccal fat pad removal and reduction procedures involve the removal of excess fat pads from the cheeks. During these procedures, Dr Amit Agarwal eliminates excess fat pads from the cheeks, resulting in a balanced, youthful-looking facial appearance.
The final results of buccal fat pad removal usually become visible a month after surgery once all of the swelling has subsided. However, buccal fat pad removal results vary based on a patient's diet and other factors. In some instances, weight gain or weight loss after buccal fat pad removal impacts treatment results. The natural aging process also causes facial wrinkles, sagging skin and other skin issues that may affect buccal fat pad removal results.
Indivisual results may vary from person to person.
