Buccal Fat Removal in Seoul | Gangnam Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost

What is Buccal Fat Removal?

Buccal fat removal is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to remove excess fat from the buccal fat pads in the cheeks. This fat removal creates a more sculpted, defined, and angular facial appearance, often resulting in a slimmer face with enhanced cheekbone definition.

At Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, we offer personalized buccal fat removal surgeries to help patients achieve their desired facial contours and boost self-confidence.



Who is a Good Candidate for Buccal Fat Removal?

You may be a suitable candidate for buccal fat removal if you:
✔ Have full or round cheeks that you’d like to slim down
✔ Desire a more contoured face with visible cheekbone definition
✔ Are in good health and have realistic expectations
✔ Want a more angular or chiselled facial structure

A consultation at Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic will help assess your facial features and determine if buccal fat removal is the right option for you.

How is Buccal Fat Removal Performed?

1. Consultation & Planning

• During your initial consultation, the surgeon will evaluate your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a personalized surgical plan.
• 3D imaging may be used to help you visualize the potential outcome of your surgery.

2. Surgical Approach

• The procedure is performed through small incisions inside the mouth, near the lower part of the cheek.
• The buccal fat pads are then carefully removed, and the incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures.
• The surgery is typically done under local anesthesia or sedation, making it a minimally invasive procedure.

The surgery takes around 30 minutes to 1 hour and requires no visible scarring as the incisions are made inside the mouth.

3. Recovery & Aftercare

• You may experience some swelling and bruising for the first few days, but these should subside quickly.
• Mild discomfort can be expected for a few days post-surgery.
• Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks, though strenuous physical

activities should be avoided for a few weeks.

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery Timeline:

• Swelling & Bruising: 3–5 days
• Return to Work/Daily Activities: 1–2 weeks
• Full Results: Final results become visible within 3–6 months as the swelling fully subsides and facial contours settle.

You will be asked to follow-up with your surgeon to ensure proper healing and address any concerns during your recovery period.
