Testimonials
What our previous patients had to say
What is buccal fat & why do people opt to get it removed?
Buccal fat (“face fat”) is a naturally occurring pad of fat located in the lower cheeks, right beneath the cheekbones. Its purpose is to “cushion” the facial muscles and aid in chewing and sucking (primarily in infancy). Characteristic of both men and women, buccal fat is best known as the feature responsible for giving the face a fuller, rounder appearance.
For the majority of people, the decision to remove buccal fat is primarily rooted in aesthetics. Face fat removal surgery results in enhanced cheekbone definition, a slimmer facial profile, and a more chiseled look. This appearance is historically associated with elegance, sophistication, discipline, and sharpness of both body and mind – and it’s exactly what makes it so sought-after.
Non-cosmetic benefits
Face fat removal offers a whole range of additional advantages that go far beyond aesthetics.
Boosted Confidence
Buccal fat surgery results in improved facial symmetry and overall more harmonious appearance, which can help individuals feel more confident in social and professional interactions.
Enhanced Oral Comfort
Excess facial fat can push the inner cheek tissue further inwards toward the teeth, leading to accidental biting when talking or chewing. Removal remedies this issue, improving overall comfort.
Permanent Results
Once removed, cheek fat does not regenerate – meaning that the buccal fat removal procedure offers lasting results and doesn’t require additional interventions.
Customizable Procedure
Both male and female buccal fat removal in Groton are fully customizable procedures. You can choose how much fat to remove to achieve the desired effect without overdoing it.
Minimal Downtime
Although it is a surgery, face fat removal is straightforward and minimally invasive. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days – sometimes even on the next day.
No Visible Scarring
The procedure leaves no visible post-surgical marks or imperfections. Everything is done inside the mouth, so aside from the obviously improved look, no one will know you’ve had the surgery.
How safe is a buccal fat removal procedure?
When carried out by qualified and experienced professionals – such as our own Dr. Kuang and Dr. Garibyan – buccal fat surgery is both safe and effective. Both our specialists are highly trained, board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons with years of expertise, so you can rest easy knowing that you’re in excellent hands. In addition, our clinic in Groton, comes equipped with state-of-the-art 3D imaging and real-time navigation technologies that ensure superior precision and predictability, effectively elevating patients’ safety to a whole new level.

Consultation & Treatment Planning
We begin with an in-depth consultation to get a clear picture of your cosmetic goals and to help you familiarize yourself with the procedure, anaesthesia options (local or IV sedation), and all the factors that ensure your comfort and confidence.
Face Fat Removal Surgery
Male or female, buccal fat removal procedure only takes minutes to complete. The surgery is done under anaesthesia for your comfort, and it only involves making a small incision on the inside of your cheeks, removing the fat, and suturing the wound.
Post-Op & Recovery
After the procedure, our specialists will give you specific dietary and oral hygiene instructions to ensure record-time recovery. They’ll also schedule a follow-up visit to monitor the healing progress and remove the sutures.
RESULTS OF BUCCAL FAT REMOVAL
What to expect after the procedure
While it is cosmetic and straightforward, buccal fat removal is still a surgery. You may experience some swelling and minor discomfort for a few weeks following the procedure. Initial swelling also prevents the results from showing up right away.
Rest assured – this is no reason for concern. The swelling will gradually subside over several weeks to a few months, and your cheeks will begin to reveal their new, contoured, and slimmer appearance.
Most importantly, men and women who underwent buccal fat removal at our Groton clinic report a surge of self-confidence and self-esteem as the results become more noticeable – and you can expect the same benefits!
