Treatment

This procedure is suitable for clients who have convex and oval faces with the typical hamster cheeks. This may be due to weight gain or determined by a genetic cause. The procedure is performed after a small anaesthetic in the mouth and fat is removed through a small incision in the cheek mucosa. It therefore does not result in visible scars. The procedure takes about 45-60 minutes. Swelling and bruising are minimal. You could return to work the next day.

Benefits of Buccal fat removal:

  • Improving facial contour and symmetry
  • Rejuvenation of the face
  • No visible scars
  • Short recovery time

Aftercare

3.

Aftercare

It takes an average of 2 weeks to see the final effect of the procedure. After the swelling subsides (duration 1-2 weeks), the tissue settles down and the cheeks look more defined and contoured.

After surgery, we advise:

- In the first week after treatment, do not press, push, lift or bend.
- We advise you not to smoke. Smoking increases the risk of complications.
- Avoid intensive chewing of solid food.
- Do not drink hot drinks, such as tea or coffee, first 24 hr after your procedure
- Do not undertake heavy and strenuous work or sporting activities during the first few weeks.

Risks

Risks

The procedure has few risks and is done under local anaesthetic.

Possible complications include swelling, post-bleeding, pain when chewing and, very rarely, nerve damage.

Top kliniek!

Reception like the other times, all cordial. Immediately inquired about my previous treatment, a bucal fat removal. A short wait for the doctor, immediately the offer of a cup of tea. Now I was here for treatment. This doctor too took the time to give advice and answer my questions. I still have to wait a while for the result. I feel I was taken seriously at this clinic.

How long is the recovery after buccal fat removal?

Je kunt een week na de ingreep wat gezwollen zijn en je wangen kunnen beurs aanvoelen. Je voelt je verder niet ziek, dus je zou je dagelijkse activiteiten na een paar dagen prima moeten kunnen hervatten. Indien je veel last hebt van zwelling kun je wat rust nemen en je wangen koelen met cold packs. Alle zwelling zou binnen twee tot drie weken volledig verdwenen moeten zijn. Voorkom het intensief kauwen van vast voedsel en vermijd ten minste 24 uur alles dat te warm of pittig is, om irritatie van de incisies in je wangen te voorkomen. Je mag de eerste weken niet drukken, persen, tillen of bukken. Sporten mag weer na 2 weken.

How is buccal fat removed?

De ingreep wordt uitgevoerd met een plaatselijke verdoving. De chirurg maakt dan kleine incisies aan de binnenkant van je wangen. Vervolgens wordt het vet gezocht en verwijderd. Dit kan een trekkerig gevoel geven, maar is niet pijnlijk. Als het vet is verwijderd worden de incisies gehecht met oplosbare hechtingen. De meeste mensen ondergaan de ingreep goed en vergelijken het met een behandeling bij de tandarts, waarbij je ook met je mond open moet liggen. Je wordt naar huis gestuurd met antibiotica ter preventie van infectie en het advies om de mond regelmatig te spoelen met mondspoelen.

What are disadvantages of buccal fat removal?

Je kunt wat last hebben van zwelling, waardoor het aanvankelijk lijkt alsof je juist bollere wangen hebt gekregen. Dit trekt weg na verloop van tijd. Er is een klein risico op beschadiging van de buccale zenuw die ervoor zorgt dat je je lippen goed kunt tuiten. Deze risico’s worden vanzelfsprekend kleiner als je de behandeling laat uitvoeren door een gekwalificeerde, ervaren chirurg.

What are the benefits of buccal fat removal?

Je houdt geen zichtbare littekens over aan deze ingreep, omdat het buccale vet via de binnenkant van de mond wordt verwijderd. De uiteindelijke resultaten zijn permanent, zelfs als je gewicht toeneemt. De hersteltijd is minimaal, de meeste patiënten gaan na drie dagen weer aan het werk. Door het volume van het buccaal vetkussentje te verwijderen, neemt de wangvolume af en ogen de jukbeenderen en de wangen meer gedefinieerd. Dat maakt dit een ideale ingreep voor volwassenen die last hebben van een baby face of hamsterwangen.

Who is buccal fat removal suitable for?

Buccaal vetverwijdering is een goede behandeling voor patiënten die vinden dat hun gezicht te rond of mollig is, of last hebben van hamsterwangen. Het zorgt voor een slanker gezicht met meer contouren en meer shape in het onderste gedeelte van het gezicht. Hoewel je mollige wangen of rond gezicht kunt hebben zonder dat het betekent dat je te zwaar bent, is het goed om vast te stellen of overgewicht niet de oorzaak is van de bollere wangen. In dat geval is deze behandeling namelijk minder geschikt, omdat het verwijderen van het buccale vet waarschijnlijk niet de gewenste resultaten gaat geven. Je kunt ook brede wangen hebben door over ontwikkelde kaakspieren. In dat geval zou het verwijderen van buccaal vet niet perse helpen, maar kunnen we middels een injectable de kauwspier laten ontspannen, waardoor je gezicht na verloop van tijd afslankt. Dit is echter een behandeling die geen permanente resultaten geeft, en die herhaalt zou moeten worden. Heb je naast hamsterwangen ook last van een hardnekkige onderkin? In dat geval zat de face slimming behandeling beter bij je passen. Bij face slimming wordt niet alleen het buccale vet verwijderd, maar ook het vet rondom de kaaklijn wat zorgt voor een onderkin. Uiteraard bespreken onze specialisten tijden een persoon consult graag de verschillende behandelingen en welke het beste bij je past.

Will my double chin also diminish if I have my buccal fat removed?

The treatment in which buccal fat is removed is going to provide more contour and definition to your face. Your cheekbones become more prominent, your bulging cheeks are reduced and your jawline gets more definition. However, sometimes there can be a stubborn double chin, a double chin that you cannot exercise or diet away. Despite the fact that a buccal fat removal helps to give more shape to your face, it may not be enough to completely get the results you are looking for. Especially for people who want just a little more definition and suffer from a double chin in addition to bulging cheeks, you can come to us for a unique face slimming treatment. This treatment is unique because it is not offered in any other clinic in the Netherlands. It is a treatment in which the treatment to remove buccal fat is combined with liposuction of the neck to eliminate double chin fat as well. It gives natural but long-lasting results: the fat usually does not return, provided a healthy lifestyle is maintained. Want more information or this, or any other treatment? Schedule a no-obligation consultation, our specialists will be happy to discuss the options with you.

What exactly is buccal fat removal?

Buccaal vet verwijdering is een ingreep die vaak wordt uitgevoerd in Azie, het midden oosten en USA. Om definitie in het gezicht te brengen is het soms nodig om de  wangen te contouren. Dit kan je doen met make-up. Of door het ‘buccaal vetkussentje’ te verwijderen, neemt de wangvolume af en ogen de jukbeenderen en de wangen meer gedefinieerd. De ingreep wordt uitgevoerd na een kleine verdoving in de mond en via een kleine incisie in het wangslijmvlies wordt het vet verwijderd. Het geeft dus geen zichtbare littekens. De eerder benoemde resultaten kunnen niet gegarandeerd worden. De resultaten verschillen van persoon tot persoon. We kunnen geen concrete uitspraken doen over hoe uw lichaam reageert op bepaalde behandelingen of producten.
