Cheek Reduction
Full, rounded cheeks are often a sign of youth, but for some individuals, overly prominent cheeks can make the face appear disproportionate or heavy. Cheek reduction surgery, also known as buccal fat removal or cheek contouring, is a cosmetic procedure designed to slim down and sculpt the face by reducing excess fat in the cheeks. At Mahendra Hair & Skin Clinic in Zirakpur, we offer expert cheek reduction services to help you achieve a more refined, balanced, and contoured facial appearance.
What is Cheek Reduction Surgery?
Cheek reduction surgery primarily focuses on removing excess fat from the buccal fat pads located in the lower part of the cheeks. These fat pads can give the face a round or chubby appearance, even in individuals with an otherwise slim body. The goal of the procedure is to create more defined facial contours by removing or reducing the buccal fat, resulting in a slimmer, more sculpted look.
This procedure is particularly popular among individuals who feel that their cheeks are too full or who want a more defined cheekbone structure. Cheek reduction surgery can significantly enhance the appearance of the mid and lower face, improving overall facial harmony.
Benefits of Cheek Reduction Surgery
- Slimmer facial appearance: The most obvious benefit is a more sculpted, slimmer face. Reducing the fullness in the cheeks can make the cheekbones more prominent and create a more defined jawline.
- Enhanced facial balance: By removing excess cheek fat, the procedure can bring balance to facial features, particularly for those whose cheeks appear out of proportion to the rest of their face.
- Boosted self-confidence: Many individuals feel more confident after cheek reduction surgery, as their facial contours better align with their aesthetic goals.
- Minimally invasive: The procedure is relatively quick and performed through small incisions inside the mouth, which means no visible scarring and a faster recovery.
The Cheek Reduction Procedure at Mahendra Hair & Skin Clinic, Zirakpur
At Mahendra Hair & Skin Clinic, we specialize in minimally invasive cheek reduction procedures designed to achieve natural-looking results. Here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation: The first step is an in-depth consultation with our cosmetic experts. We will evaluate your facial structure, skin type, and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine if cheek reduction surgery is right for you. During this consultation, we’ll explain the procedure and set realistic expectations for the outcome.
- Anesthesia: Cheek reduction surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, though general anesthesia may be used in some cases. This ensures that you are comfortable and relaxed during the procedure.
- Procedure: Small incisions are made inside the mouth, along the inner cheeks, to access the buccal fat pads. The surgeon carefully removes or reduces the fat, sculpting the cheeks to create a slimmer and more defined contour. Because the incisions are made inside the mouth, there is no visible scarring. The entire procedure typically takes around 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity.
- Recovery: After the procedure, you may experience mild swelling, discomfort, or bruising, but these symptoms generally subside within a week. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including dietary recommendations and advice on how to care for your incisions. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, although strenuous activities should be avoided for a couple of weeks.
Who is a Good Candidate for Cheek Reduction Surgery?
