Treatment

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 in Leidsche Rijn:

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

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.

Bulging cheeks, baby face and self-confidence

Bulging cheeks, also known as hamster cheeks, are one of the main characteristics of a 'baby face'. People with a 'baby face' have the features of a child's face. This makes them appear young, even though they are usually older than they look. Many of the key features that define a baby face include a round face shape, full cheeks, big eyes and full lips.

There is nothing wrong with this and this is often even seen as beautiful! But some people are not happy with the bulging cheeks that are part of their face. They often quickly make you look fatter, even if you have a normal weight. This can sometimes affect self-confidence. At Skin + Surgery, we want you to feel beautiful in your own skin. Whether that's with or without bulging cheeks. Our buccal fat removal procedure in Leidsche Rijn ensures that you have a choice.

Would you like to discuss this further? And are you curious about how you would look without bulging cheeks? Request a no-obligation consultation and we will be happy to discuss all your options.

How long is the recovery after buccal fat removal?

You may be a little swollen for a week after the procedure and your cheeks may feel sore. You won't feel sick otherwise, so you should be able to resume your daily activities fine after a few days. If you experience a lot of swelling, you can take some rest and cool your cheeks with cold packs. All swelling should completely disappear within two to three weeks.

Avoid intensive chewing of solid food and avoid anything too hot or spicy for at least 24 hours to avoid irritating the incisions in your cheeks.

You should not press, push, lift or bend for the first few weeks. Sport is allowed again after 2 weeks.

How is buccal fat removed?

The procedure is performed with a local anaesthetic. The surgeon then makes small incisions on the inside of your cheeks.

The fat is then searched for and removed. This may cause a pulling sensation, but is not painful. Once the fat is removed, the incisions are sutured with soluble sutures.

Most people undergo the procedure well, comparing it to treatment at the dentist, where you also have to lie with your mouth open.

You will be sent home with antibiotics to prevent infection and the advice to rinse your mouth regularly with mouthwash.

What are disadvantages of buccal fat removal?

You may experience some swelling, which initially makes it look like you've actually grown chubbier cheeks. This will subside over time.

There is a small risk of damaging the buccal nerve that allows you to properly pucker your lips. These risks are obviously reduced if you have the treatment performed by a qualified, experienced surgeon.

What are the benefits of buccal fat removal?

You will not leave any visible scars from this procedure, as the buccal fat is removed through the inside of the mouth.

The final results are permanent, even if you gain weight.

Recovery time is minimal, with most patients returning to work after three days.

By removing the buccal fat pad volume, the cheek volume decreases and the cheekbones and cheeks look more defined. This makes this an ideal procedure for adults who suffer from a baby face or hamster cheeks.

Who is buccal fat removal suitable for?

Buccal fat removal is a good treatment for patients who feel their face is too round or chubby, or suffer from hamster cheeks. It creates a slimmer face with more contour and shape in the lower part of the face.

While you can have chubby cheeks or round face without it meaning you are overweight, it is good to establish whether being overweight is not the cause of the chubby cheeks. Indeed, in that case, this treatment is less suitable because removing the buccal fat is probably not going to give the desired results.

You can also have wide cheeks due to overdeveloped jaw muscles. In that case, removing buccal fat would not necessarily help, but we can use an injectable to relax the masseter muscle, which will cause your face to slim down over time. However, this is a treatment that does not give permanent results, and would have to be repeated.

Besides hamster cheeks, do you also suffer from a stubborn double chin? In that case, face slimming treatment would suit you better. Face slimming removes not only buccal fat, but also the fat around the jawline that causes a double chin. Of course, our specialists will be happy to discuss the different treatments and which one suits you best during a personal consultation.

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?

Buccal fat removal is a procedure often performed in Asia, the Middle East and USA. To bring definition to the face, it is sometimes necessary to contour the cheeks. You can do this with make-up. Or by removing the 'buccal fat pad', the cheek volume decreases and the cheekbones and cheeks look more defined.

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.
