Achieve a sculpted, slimmer facial appearance with Dr. Stile’s customized buccal fat removal.

Enhance The Contours of Your Lower Face For A More Sculpted Look

Buccal fat removal, or cheek reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance facial aesthetics by reducing fullness in the lower cheeks. Dr. Stile, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Las Vegas, offers this minimally invasive procedure to help patients achieve a slimmer, more contoured facial appearance. By targeting the buccal fat pads, this surgery refines cheekbones, enhances jawline definition, and contributes to overall facial harmony.

What is Buccal Fat Removal?

Buccal fat removal involves the surgical extraction of the buccal fat pads—natural pockets of fat between the facial muscles in the hollow area beneath the cheekbone. While these fat pads provide youthful fullness during childhood, they can contribute to a round or chubby facial appearance in adults.
