Face fat is mainly seen in the areas of cheek and double chin which makes the person looks chubby. Many people have fat present only in the facial area which makes the person looks healthy. When you are grown up any one pulls your cheeks you may not like it and sometimes it may irritate you also. Chubby cheeks are seen due to the buccal fat which is present in the lower third of the face. Removing cheek fat is sometimes very difficult with diet and exercise only because face fat are not always easily targeted. Similarly double chin is caused when fat get accumulated under the chin area which cause the appearance of double chin.

Double chin liposuction:

It is seen that in some people that fat is accumulated under the chin which cause the appearance of double chin. The fat pad which are being engaged in double chin liposuction are very small as compared to other parts of the body like abdomen although removing a small fat in this region can create a big difference. Double chin is created by subcutaneous fat which is deposited in front of the neck, below the jaw line. If you have too much fat in your chin you may appear to be chubby although you don’t have obesity. Double chin liposuction is done mainly under local anaesthesia and this process takes 45 minutes to one hour to complete.

Double chin liposuction is done by making a small stab incision at the angle of your lower jaw, below your chin after that tumescent solution is infiltered for numbing the area. After that special saline solution is infiltered in the area for numbing the area and to make the process painless. Then VASER probe is inserted for liquefying the fat which also helps in retracting the skin. The double chin fat removal surgery is a day care procedure and you will discharge the same day after keeping you under observation for a few hours. The recovery time after chin and neck liposuction is 2 to 3 days. Initially there will be swelling, bruises, pain and discomfort, for which we will prescribe you medication to help in controlling these.

Buccal fat liposuction:

Buccal fat removal aims at making the chin thin so that a youthful, soft and natural contour is given to the face. Buccal fat removal removes the buccal fat pad which is a natural pad of fat present in the hollow areas of the cheek. The size of buccal fat varies from patient to patient and it is different in each cheek. Buccal fat removal is done in those people whose chin are thin and narrow and it may look ugly. Buccal fat removal is a surgical method to make the cheeks look slimmer; it can be performed alone or in combination with other facial procedures to give a natural and a contoured shape to the face. Buccal fat pad removal procedure can be combined with other cosmetic facial procedures like facial implants, liposuction of chin or facelift surgery.

Buccal surgery is done under local anaesthesia and it is done within one hour. 1 to 2 cm long incision is made between your cheek and gums above the upper second molar towards the back of the mouth. Then gently thumb pressure is applied from outside under the cheekbone due to which the buccal fat comes out through the incision. Forceps and surgical tweezers are used gently for extracting the fat. Remaining buccal fat is replaced to its original site. Dissolvable sutures are used for closing the incision. You will see the final result of the buccal fat removal in 3 months till all swelling subsides. You will need to rest for a day. You will have some swelling for a week which will go away with time.
