Buccal Fat Removal
Everyone has buccal fat, also called Bichat’s fat pad, but some people may have more than others. Buccal fat removal enhances the appearance of the shape of your face highlighting the bone structure of the cheekbone and jaw, resulting in an S shape transition between these two structures.
Dr Porras always says, “…Is like going to your dentist with a touch of beauty…”
Everyone is born with a buccal fat pad—also known as Bichat’s fat pad—which plays a role in breastfeeding during infancy. In adulthood, however, this fat remains in the cheeks and does not respond to weight loss like other types of fat. It offers no structural support to the face and often contributes to a round or “baby face” appearance.
Buccal fat removal targets this specific fat, helping to refine the midface and subtly define the cheekbones without creating a hollow or overdone look. The result is a slimmer, more sculpted facial contour that enhances your natural bone structure.
