Chubby cheeks in a child look cute, but when we transition into adulthood, it is not something we desire. A larger buccal fat pad in the cheeks makes a face look broad and older.
If you struggle with the above, you can get the V-line facial shape through safe and effective buccal fat pad removal in Bangalore at Aesthetics Plus. Talk to our board-certified facial plastic surgeons to know the buccal fat removal cost in Bangalore, India.
Buccal fat removal is a cosmetic procedure to thin out the cheek by removing the fat pad within the cheek. It is also called cheek fat removal or bichectomy. It can address concerns for patients worried about full or chubby cheeks or the baby look.
This procedure makes a round face or cheeks look hollower and makes a face look slimmer. The V-line shape of the face is desired by many as it improves facial aesthetics and gives a youthful look.
Buccal fat removal surgery is highly personalized as the fat volume varies in different individuals. The buccal pad of fat is connected to the internal layers of fat; hence, plastic surgeons should take care to remove only the “excess” and not pull on it to draw more.
This correction is a personal decision, and one should have realistic expectations about what is possible and what is not. Your surgeon will help you decide what the best approach is for you.

The procedure is a daycare procedure done under local anesthesia. The cut is inside the mouth in the fold between the teeth and the upper lip. The surgeons excise the fat pad under direct vision with care taken regarding hemostasis. Extreme caution is excised to avoid pulling on the fat significantly to remove too much.
The incision is closed with dissolvable sutures that don’t need removal.
Buccal fat removal surgery in Bangalore at Aesthetics Plus is a straightforward procedure. As the sutures are dissolvable, they don’t need removal. Initially, you can see some swelling that settles in a week or two. Return to work is in two to three days.
Maintain a liquid or non-spicy diet for the first few days. Use mouth rinses to keep the mouth clean and avoid infection. The cut is inside the mouth, so there are no visible scars.

Consult our surgeons to understand the risks and the procedure. Selecting the right expert surgeon is essential in minimizing the risks and giving good results.

Wonderful experience with Aesthetic plus. Dr. Surindhar is incredible, not only has explained me entire procedure but also ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care. I am so glad I chose Aesthetic Plus and would highly recommend.

Visited Dr Surindher for a procedure which I was contemplating for a very long time. He made me extremely comfortable and explained everything in detail which made me gain confidence to go ahead with the procedure. The procedure went well with no pain at all.Post the procedure there was minor discomfort for 2-3 days and Dr Surindher was always available on call to help address any concern and to follow up with the progress.The post operative follow up was brilliant. Highly recommended Dr Surindher! Cheers and thank you !
I've known Dr. Surindhar for many years now, when he performed a surgery for removal of my axillary lymph nodes which was such an investment to my health and an addition to it's aesthetics was a bonus. I like his approachability n the precision of work, be it non or invasive jobs- big or small. I would highly recommend him for any of your cosmetic/ aesthetics related work.
Got a chemical peel from Dr.Surindher for my acne scars. My skin felt very smooth and brighter after the procedure. Had a really comfortable experience at the clinic and doctor was very patient in answering all my frequent follow up questions.
Nice place. Neat and clean. Courteous staff. Knowledgable doctor good hands didnt force me and my husband regarding procedures and gave us all the facts.

Thank you DrSurindher and team. Keep it up
