Buccal fat removal in Korea is surgery that reduces selected cheek fullness by removing part of the buccal fat pad through an incision inside the mouth.
It differs from cheek liposuction, which removes fat from a different tissue layer, and non-surgical facial contouring. The appropriate procedure depends on whether fullness comes from fat, muscle or underlying bone.
Removing too much buccal fat can produce unwanted hollowing as the face ages. A qualified surgeon should assess facial anatomy, suitability and risks before treatment.
Explore Plastic Surgery in Korea, compare Non-Surgical Facial Contouring, or enquire through Fornur.
Discuss cheek fullness and the facial changes you want. Confirm whether buccal fat removal is appropriate for your anatomy. Disclose previous facial surgery, medicines and relevant conditions. Ask about hollowing, asymmetry, nerve injury and other risks. Confirm the surgeon, total cost, follow-up and travel arrangements.
Follow the surgeon's oral hygiene and incision-care instructions. Follow the recommended liquid or soft-food diet during early healing. Avoid unnecessary pressure and strenuous activity until cleared. Attend scheduled postoperative reviews. Seek medical advice for fever, worsening swelling or unexpected bleeding.
Buccal fat removal carries risks including bleeding, infection, swelling, asymmetry, altered sensation, salivary duct injury and facial nerve injury. Excessive removal may cause unwanted cheek hollowing, which can become more noticeable with age. Removed buccal fat does not reliably regenerate. Cheek liposuction and double-chin liposuction are different operations and may involve separate risks. A qualified surgeon must assess suitability, explain expected changes and discuss alternatives before surgery.
