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 can create a more defined cheekbone or reduce cheek fullness in patients with a “chubby” or “baby-faced” appearance. Buccal fat removal is an ideal way to slim down full cheeks and achieve a more sculpted 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 tailored to your personal goals.
