As one ages, the lower third of the face becomes wider. One reason for this increase in width is the buccal fat pad. This deep pad of fat can be removed during a facelift or through an incision on the inner cheek to hide scars.

HOW IS BUCCAL FAT REMOVAL PERFORMED?

A buccal fat removal surgery requires an incision on the inside of the mouth, on the inner portion of your cheek. Occasionally, the buccal fat pad may be removed during a facelift and not necessitate an incision inside the mouth.
