Las Vegas Buccal Fat Removal

Slimmer cheeks. Sharper definition. Natural, sculpted results. At Cara Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas, Dr. David Kahng offers buccal fat removal to contour the midface and bring out your cheekbone structure—without leaving visible scars.

Refine Your Midface With Buccal Fat Removal

Some people are born with fuller cheeks, often referred to as “chipmunk cheeks” or a baby-faced appearance. Even with a fit lifestyle, this facial roundness may not go away on its own. Buccal fat removal in Las Vegas is a simple, effective solution for patients seeking a more chiseled, elegant look.

Using a minimally invasive approach, Dr. Kahng precisely reduces the buccal fat pad to sculpt the cheek area and highlight natural facial angles—creating a more defined, mature profile.

What Is Buccal Fat Removal?

Buccal fat removal is a cosmetic procedure that removes a fat pocket located deep within the lower cheek—known as the buccal fat pad.

The size of this pad varies from person to person, but for those with rounder faces, it can soften facial structure and obscure cheekbone definition.

This quick, outpatient procedure can:

Slim the midface
Reveal higher, more defined cheekbones
Create a more tapered or V-shaped contour
Enhance facial balance in both front and side views

Procedure Overview

Performed at our Las Vegas surgical center, buccal fat removal is fast and discreet:

Takes 30–60 minutes
Performed under local anesthesia or light sedation
A small incision is made inside the cheek, so no external scars
Dr. Kahng gently removes a controlled amount of fat to avoid over-thinning
The process is repeated on both cheeks for symmetrical results

Recovery After Buccal Fat Pad Removal

Most patients experience minimal downtime after buccal fat removal:

Mild swelling and tenderness for 1–2 weeks
Soft foods and antiseptic mouthwash are recommended during healing
Avoid strenuous activity for about one week
Return to normal routines in 5–7 days
Results gradually improve over 2–4 months as swelling resolves and contours refine

Dr. Kahng will provide detailed post-procedure care instructions to ensure smooth healing and optimal results.
