Welcome to NJ Aesthetic & Cosmetic Surgery, where our expert team is dedicated to helping you achieve your aesthetic goals with Buccal Fat Removal. We understand that each individual is unique, and we offer personalized solutions to enhance your natural beauty. Among our transformative procedures is Buccal Fat Removal, a specialized technique designed to sculpt the face and create a more contoured, youthful appearance.
What Is Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal Fat Removal, also known as cheek reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing fullness in the cheeks by removing excess fat pads. Many individuals struggle with chubby cheeks or a “chipmunk” appearance due to genetically predisposed buccal fat deposits. This procedure targets these specific areas to achieve a more defined and sculpted facial contour, enhancing the overall harmony of the face.
How Is Buccal Fat Removal Performed?
Dr. Samuel Rafailov employs advanced surgical techniques to perform Buccal Fat Removal with precision and attention to detail. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia for your comfort and safety.
During the procedure:
- Incision: Dr. Rafailov makes a small incision inside the mouth, typically near the back molars, to access the buccal fat pads.
- Fat Removal: Through the incision, he carefully removes the appropriate amount of buccal fat, sculpting the cheeks to achieve the desired contour.
- Closure: Once the fat removal is complete, the incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures, leaving no visible external scars.
Dr. Rafailov customizes each procedure to the individual’s facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring natural-looking results that complement the overall facial structure.

You may be advised to:
- Take prescribed pain medication and antibiotics as directed.
- Maintain a soft diet and avoid strenuous activities for a few days.
