If you’re interested in a more contoured facial appearance, buccal fat pad removal may be the ideal cosmetic solution for you.




















While it’s certainly no secret that roundish, chubby cheeks are an attractive feature in our youth, it’s becoming increasingly popular to seek out a more chiseled and angular facial appearance as we get older. The buccal fat pad removal has seen increasing favor lately, thanks to its ability to leave patients with a more contoured appearance with a more naturally slim profile and a pleasing sense of facial harmony.

Buccal fat removal under local anesthesia costs $2,000.

Dr. Shermak starts every patient off with a highly informative consultation, during which time she’ll get to know you and your cosmetic goals while also helping you explore the various treatment options she offers at her practice.

The buccal fat pad removal procedure is typically completed in about a single hour, after which time you’ll be able to return to your home to rest and recover in comfort. During the surgery, Dr. Shermak will carefully make small incisions inside your mouth, which will help to ensure that you don’t have any visible scarring once the procedure is over.
Through these incisions, Dr. Shermak will be able to gently and carefully remove the buccal fat pads from your cheeks, leaving you with that naturally contoured appearance that you have been seeking. Finally, she’ll carefully close the incisions and you’ll be moved over to the recovery area to begin your recovery process before heading home.

Most patients only have minimal swelling and discomfort after buccal fat pad removal, and these issues typically only persist for a couple of days after the procedure is over. We’ll be sure to schedule follow-up appointments with you so that we can ensure that you’re healing properly. After just about one to two weeks, you should be able to enjoy your final results and show the world a more contoured, elegant look.
