    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Aesthetic Surgery
    • Facial Anatomy

    Background:

    • Facial aesthetics are significantly influenced by the volume and contour of the cheeks.
    • Persistent submalar fat deposits can lead to an appearance of facial fullness or
    • chubby

    Observation:

    • A specific surgical technique, buccal lipectomy, was employed to address excessive buccal fat pad volume.
    • The procedure involves the targeted removal of specific adipose tissue within the cheek.
    • Patient outcomes were monitored over a three-and-a-half-year period.

    Findings:

    • The described buccal lipectomy technique is characterized by its simplicity and safety.
    • Predictable aesthetic results were achieved in all treated patients.
