✨ Buccal Fat Removal in the Philippines

---

Buccal fat removal is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that reduces fullness in the lower cheeks by removing or thinning the buccal fat pads — giving the face a more sculpted, defined, and contoured appearance.

It’s ideal for individuals with a naturally round or “chubby” face who desire a slimmer, V-shaped facial profile.

• Excess facial fullness or “baby face”
   
• Round cheeks that don’t slim with diet
   
• Desire for more prominent cheekbones or a defined jawline
   
• Creating a slimmer, V-shaped face
   
• Balancing facial features for a more refined appearance

She evaluates your facial structure and fat volume carefully to create subtle but noticeable improvement tailored to your features.

• Procedure Time: 30–60 minutes
   
• Anesthesia: Local anesthesia

Q: Will buccal fat removal make my face too hollow over time?
A: If your elderly relatives does not show hollow face, you probably won't

Q: Is the procedure painful?
A: Most patients experience minimal discomfort and recover quickly. You can usually return to light activity the next day.

Q: Are the results permanent?
A: Yes — once the fat is removed, it doesn’t come back. However, natural aging will still occur over time.
