Buccal Fat Removal

Buccal fat removal refers to a surgical process by which Dr. Rogers can carefully extract the small pads of fatty tissue that sit just below your cheekbones, so you can show the world a more chiseled and attractively contoured look.

Love Your Newly Contoured Look with Buccal Fat Removal

Buccal fat pad excision is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a portion of the buccal fat pads, which are located in the cheeks. This procedure creates a more defined cheekbone or reduces the fullness of the cheeks in patients who have a “chubby” or “baby-faced” appearance. Buccal fat removal is an ideal way to slim down full cheeks and achieve a more sculpted look for the lower face. Dr. Leif Rogers, MD, FACS brings a passion for innovation to each procedure he performs and will work closely with you to craft a customized treatment plan that is tailored directly to your personal goals.
