DEEP CHEEK FAT REMOVAL

Cheek Fat Removal · V-Line Perfection
Smooth Deep Cheek Fat Elimination

Buccal fat removal directly removes
the fat mass (buccal fat pad) located deep inside the cheek,
completing a smooth, slim V-line contour.

Anatomically precise removal, fast return to daily life. Only the areas that disrupt the line are selectively removed.

About Buccal Fat

Precise Removal of the
Buccal Fat Pad Based on Anatomical Understanding

The buccal fat pad is a deep-seated fat mass inside the cheek
that cannot be reduced by contouring injections or liposuction — it must be directly removed through incision.

The buccal fat pad is a deep fat mass in the cheek area that cannot be reduced by contouring injections or liposuction — it can only be removed through a direct incision. The incision is made through the inner oral mucosa at approximately 1 cm in a micro-incision approach, leaving virtually no external scarring and delivering natural results. During surgery, only the unnecessary areas that disrupt the V-line are selectively removed with precision, while fat that serves a functional role is preserved, creating a slim line from both the front and the side.
POINT 01

Anatomy-Based Precision Removal

Selective removal from 4–5 compartments

The buccal fat pad is divided into 4–5 compartments, and only the unnecessary portions that disrupt the V-line are precisely identified and removed.

POINT 02

Intraoral Micro-Incision Method

Minimal external scarring

A roughly 1 cm micro-incision through the inner oral mucosa leaves no visible external scar and enables a quick recovery.

POINT 03

Semi-Permanent Results

Addressing the root cause

Once removed, the buccal fat pad does not regenerate, allowing the slim V-line to be maintained semi-permanently.

Surgery Process

Buccal Fat Removal Surgical Process

The precise micro-incision enables a fast return to daily life,
and the procedure is performed safely based on anatomical structure.

With a thorough understanding of the anatomical structure of the buccal fat pad,
the surgery is relatively straightforward and recovery is fast.

STEP 01

Local Anesthesia Followed by 1 cm Intraoral Incision

After local anesthesia, a micro-incision of approximately 1 cm is made through the intraoral mucosa.

STEP 02

Buccal Fat Pad Removal

The buccal fat pad located deep inside the cheek is precisely separated and directly removed.

STEP 03

Closure with Absorbable Sutures

Closed with absorbable sutures, allowing natural recovery without a separate suture removal procedure.

Pleasure's Buccal Fat Removal — A Differentiated Approach

Precision removal based on anatomical structure

Buccal Fat Removal
KEY POINT 01

Removing Only the
Buccal Fat That Causes Cheek Fullness

The buccal fat extends from the temple down to the jaw, and good results can only be achieved by precisely targeting the cheek area. The buccal fat is divided into 4–5 compartments, and only the unnecessary areas that disrupt the V-line should be selectively removed — preserving functional fat while achieving a slimmer contour from both the front and the side.

Buccal Fat Removal
KEY POINT 02

Precise Surgery with Micro-Incision —
Return to Daily Life

With knowledge of the anatomical structure of the buccal fat pad, the surgery is relatively straightforward and recovery is fast. The sequence of local anesthesia, 1 cm intraoral incision, buccal fat removal, and closure with absorbable sutures is carried out with precision — minimizing burden and delivering accurate results.

FAQ

Before Buccal Fat Removal Surgery —
Frequently Asked Questions

Q Is the scar visible after surgery?
Because the procedure uses a roughly 1 cm micro-incision through the inner oral mucosa, no external scar is visible. The incision is closed with absorbable sutures, so no separate suture removal procedure is required.
Q How is this different from contouring injections or liposuction?
Contouring injections and liposuction are procedures that reduce subcutaneous fat, whereas buccal fat removal is a surgery that directly removes the fat mass (buccal fat pad) located deep inside the cheek. When the root cause of cheek fullness is the buccal fat pad, direct removal is the most definitive approach.
Q Will the cheeks look too hollow after buccal fat removal?
The buccal fat pad is divided into 4–5 compartments. Rather than removing all compartments, only the portions that disrupt the V-line are selectively removed. Fat that serves a functional role is preserved, so you retain natural volume while the contour is refined.
Q How long is the recovery period?
Surgery time is approximately 20–30 minutes, and the micro-incision approach results in relatively little swelling and bruising. You can return to daily activities within 2–3 days after surgery, and the final result can be assessed at around 2–3 months when all swelling has resolved.
