Have You Got Chipmunk Cheeks?

One of the cheek augmentation procedures that plastic surgery encapsulates is the buccal fat removal surgery. If you have a pronounced bulge in your lower cheek that makes you look chubby or gives your face a rotund appearance, then this surgery is for you.

Buccal fat occurs naturally in the cheek mass in the form of fat, but its prominence is considered normal only in small children. When the buccal fat continues to develop in a grown adult, it is viewed as an excess and deformity by those more conscious about their looks.

The buccal fat removal cosmetic surgery removes these fat pads from the lower part of the cheek giving the appearance of an elegant and defined jaw line. It can be performed in conjunction with one or more face surgery procedures as well.

Chin augmentation or chin reduction, face lifts and neck lifts are some of the cosmetic surgery procedures which you can ask your plastic surgeon to perform along with a buccal fat removal procedure.

You can visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California at any of its centers in Beverly Hills, Orange County, Pasadena and Los Angeles for more information about buccal fat removal and cheek augmentation and cheek reduction procedures.
