\"\"<\/p>\n

Haute Beauty: <\/em>What is the process of Buccal fat removal?<\/h3>\n

Dr. Earl Stephenson: <\/strong>Buccal, pronounced \u201cbuck kul<\/em>\u201d, fat pad reduction is a form of cheek contouring. A slightly full or rounded face conveys a sign of youth. \u00a0Some people find that cheek fullness is not endearing. Buccal fat removal involves the judicious removal of the naturally-occurring pad of fat in the cheek hollow area.<\/p>\n

HB: Who is a good candidate for this procedure?<\/h3>\n

ES: <\/strong>In general, you may be a good buccal fat removal candidate if you:<\/p>\n

- have realistic expectations<\/p>\n

- Are a nonsmoker<\/p>\n

- Are bothered by the appearance of your cheeks<\/p>\n

HB: What does recovery look like?<\/h3>\n

ES: <\/strong>Recovery may include modest swelling that would require ice therapy. A liquid diet for several days or longer is important for comfort and allows the optimal conditions for healing of the incision. \u00a0Additionally, special mouth rinses and antibiotics are used to reduce the risk of infection. \u00a0It may take several months for you to see the final results.<\/p>\n

HB: Do men also benefit from this procedure?<\/h3>\n

ES: <\/strong>This procedure is gender blind. \u00a0Men can most definitely benefit from this procedure to give their face a more chiseled appearance.<\/p>\n

Finally, maintaining your normal skincare routine with sunscreen and moisturizer will help keep the overall appearance of your skin healthy continue to enhance your new results from your buccal fat removal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
