Buccal Fat Extraction/Face Slimming

Request A Consultation

About Buccal Fat Extraction/Face Slimming

If you find yourself sucking in your cheeks in your selfies, our buccal fat removal may be the procedure for you. This simple and relatively rapid, procedure can help you to achieve a naturally sculpted and slimmer facial appearance. No more duck-face selfies! Procedure is often combined with Botox in the masseters, submental mini-lipo, and/or chin augmentation.

What is Buccal Fat Extraction?

The buccal fat pads are encapsulated fat deposits located on either side of the face beneath the first layer of fat that forms the cheeks. It is these fat deposits, when too large, that create the appearance of deep nasolabial folds and ‘chubby cheeks’. Large buccal fat pads can make one appear overweight and tired.

If you find yourself sucking in your cheeks in your selfies, our buccal fat removal may be the procedure for you. This simple and relatively rapid, procedure can help you to achieve a naturally sculpted and slimmer facial appearance. No more duck-face selfies! Procedure is often combined with Botox in the masseters, submental mini-lipo, and or chin augmentation.

Benefits

If you have ever sucked in your cheeks when taking a picture then this procedure may be for you. It provides a subtle slimming and countouring of the mid cheek area.

Am I a Candidate?

This surgery is recommended for anyone who would like a little more contour and less of a 'chubby' look to their mid-face. A proper consultation with Dr. Esmail is recommended to determine if you would be a good candidate.

About the Surgery

This is an outpatient treatment done under local anesthesia. Dr Esmail will make incisions on the inside of your cheeks and remove all or some of the fat pad dependent on your goals and what will create the best result.

Risks

Pain infection and some bleeding are risks with any type of surgery. This specific surgery has potential risk of temporary injury to the facial nerve. This is very uncommon but requires a specialized surgeon who knows the anatomy well.

Recovery

Requires minimal downtime. Most spend at least 48 hours with reduced activity. You will want to restrict your diet to softer foods for the first few days. you can expect some swelling 'chipmunk cheeks' for up to ten days after surgery.

What to Expect from Buccal Fat Extraction Procedure?

Results are permanent. If you gain a lot of weight after your surgery, it is possible that your cheeks will begin to look plump again as the fat cells directly under your skin expands. You can expect a moderate amount of swelling that lasts up to six weeks after surgery a can take up to three months for the final results of this surgery to reach its full effect.

Cost of Buccal Fat Extraction Procedure in Winnipeg

Pricing ranges between $3,500 - $4,500+gst
Are the results permanent?

Yes once we removed the buccal fat pad it is permanent. if you gain significant weight the remaining fat in this area may increase in size or the overlying fat may Expand, but once fat is removed from the body you do not generate any new fat cells.

Are there sutures that need to be removed?

No all the sutures are dissolvable. They dissolve in approximately 5 days.

About Dr. Ali Esmail, MD

Dr. Ali Esmail Visage
Dr. Ali Esmail is Winnipeg’s first and only fellowship trained Facial Plastic Surgeon. Unlike a ‘general plastic surgeon’, Dr. Esmail has 6 years of specialized training that focuses primarily on procedures from the neck up. Facial plastic surgery requires extreme attention to detail, an eye for symmetry and a drive for perfection. When it comes to someone’s face there is no room for error, and at Visage, this is the very work ethic that drives our entire team. It is those attributes that originally attracted Dr. Esmail to the field of facial plastic surgery. His obsessive attention to detail and keen eye for aesthetic symmetry is what makes him one of the most exciting and top young surgeons in the field.
