Why Choose Buccal Fat Removal?
The buccal fat pads are located in the lower cheeks and contribute to the overall shape and fullness of the face. While some fullness is natural and desirable, excess buccal fat can create a rounder or “chubby” appearance even in those with a healthy weight. Buccal Fat Removal can provide:
Enhanced Cheek Definition
Enhancing the natural contours of the cheeks creates a more sculpted, elegant look that brings out the beauty of the cheekbones, giving the face a more chiseled and defined profile.
A Slimmer Facial Profile
Removing excess buccal fat helps reduce facial fullness, resulting in a leaner appearance that can improve overall facial symmetry and balance while preserving a natural look.
Increased Facial Balance
This procedure refines the cheek structure, providing greater harmony among facial features and creating a proportionate and balanced aesthetic that enhances natural facial beauty.
This procedure is perfect for individuals who seek a more refined and sculpted facial appearance without undergoing more extensive facial surgery.
Dr. Pablo Baltodano: Trusted Expertise in Facial Contouring
Dr. Pablo Baltodano’s extensive training and commitment to surgical excellence make him a top choice for buccal fat removal.

The Cheek Reduction Procedure
Buccal Fat Removal is a straightforward outpatient procedure that can be completed in under an hour. Dr. Baltodano makes small incisions inside the mouth, allowing for the removal of the buccal fat pads without visible scarring.

Recovery is typically quick, with minimal discomfort and downtime, allowing you to return to daily activities shortly after surgery.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal Fat Removal is ideal for individuals who:
- Desire more defined and sculpted cheekbones
- Have persistent cheek fullness that does not respond to diet or exercise
- Seek a subtle yet effective enhancement of their facial profile
Good candidates should be in overall good health and have realistic expectations for their results. Dr. Baltodano conducts a comprehensive consultation to evaluate each patient’s facial anatomy and goals to determine if buccal fat removal is the right choice for them.
