Buccal Fat Removal: Subtle Sculpting for Full Cheeks

What buccal fat removal can — and can't — do for facial contour.

A targeted procedure

For patients with persistently round lower cheeks, removing a small amount of buccal fat through incisions inside the mouth can reveal more defined contours — with no visible scars.

Less is more

Conservative removal protects your facial volume as you age. Over-resection can leave a gaunt look years later.

Why choose Dr. Saba

Dr. Saba removes conservatively, guided by dual board certification and deep knowledge of facial anatomy, so your result ages gracefully with you.
