Buccal Fat Removal at Covai Cosmetic Surgery – Refine Your Facial Contours with Dr. S. Sivakumar

Discover how Buccal Fat Removal in Coimbatore with Dr. S. Sivakumar can enhance your facial definition. We explain causes, treatment types, procedure details, recovery expectations, and answer your top 10 FAQs.

What is Buccal Fat Removal?

We define Buccal Fat Removal as a minimally invasive procedure that reduces the buccal (cheek) fat pads to create a more sculpted midface appearance. It’s ideal for patients seeking a slimmer, more contoured facial profile.

Overview:

Buccal Fat Removal is performed under local or general anesthesia in our Covai Cosmetic Surgery center. The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes per side, with small intraoral incisions to access and remove excess fat pads.

Causes:

  • Genetic predisposition to fuller cheeks
  • Weight fluctuations that cause buccal fat hypertrophy
  • Desire for a more chiseled cheekbone appearance

Solutions:

We offer individualized treatment plans that may combine Buccal Fat Removal with complementary procedures like dermal fillers or skin tightening to enhance overall facial harmony.
