How Buccal Fat Removal Can Strengthen Face Lift Results?

Each and every human being goes through an aging process so none can avoid the aging effects. Due to genetics, seating jobs and irregular eating habits, these effects become even worse. Most people feel awkward and conscious of their facial appearance when they get facial sagging skin, wrinkles, double chin, loose neck skin and round face. Facelift procedures can help people rejuvenate their face and neck. This way they gain their self-esteem and confidence back. But sometimes when they have cheek fullness, their surgeon might suggest they combine their facelift procedure with buccal fat removal. Many times, young people feel helpless to reduce the fat around the lower area of their cheeks even after following a regular diet and doing regular exercise. Then their concern is resolved through buccal fat removal only. However, when aging signs appear and you have chubby cheeks as well, a well-experienced surgeon recommends combining the facelift procedure with buccal fat removal. As the combined procedure is the only option to restore facial youthfulness and beauty. 

Buccal fat 

Buccal fat is the fat in the lower cheeks which makes your cheeks plump and chubby. It is generally considered as a genetic feature. It affects the overall facial proportion and look due to which people even struggle with lower self-esteem. 

Buccal fat removal 

Buccal fat can be more annoying as it does not go away with diet and exercise. Therefore, it is removed clinically to restore the youthful appearance and accurate facial proportion. Usually, it is performed through a small incision within the mouth between the upper gums and cheeks. This way your surgeon easily reduces the appearance of full cheeks. You must be in good health and a non-smoker if you are planning to undergo the procedure. 

How it enhances the facelift results

Your surgeon may advise you to undergo a combination of facelift and buccal fat removal so that you can achieve perfect contours of the face.

He may combine it with mini facelift, mid facelift, standard facelift or even with neck lift. He will certainly evaluate your concerns and expectations then only he will plan out the customized procedure. During facelift surgery, he will address your chin, jawline and neck in order to create a better profile. In case you are also having buccal fat then facelift results will look unnatural as your chin and jaw will be contoured and your cheeks will remain plump and puffy. Therefore, it is quite essential to treat buccal fat there and then so you can achieve better results. 

This will typically depend upon the type of face you have and the profile you need to achieve. He will strategically place the incisions along the hairline or at the base of the ears so that he can easily access the deeper layers of your face. In case, you are undergoing the combination procedure then he does not need to make different incisions inside the mouth for buccal fat removal. Your surgeon will remove the fatty tissues and aging effects from cheeks, chin and jawline and neck also. This way your skin is tightened and you will achieve a smooth, youthful and well-proportioned facial appearance.
