The Buccal Fat Pad: A Case Report and Retrospective Case Series

Abstract

Summary:. Buccal fat contributes significantly to the contour of the face, but the contribution of buccal fat is often neglected on examination and in surgery. A case of isolated buccal fat removal is examined. Previous literature relevant to this case is discussed and the author’s experience from 10 subsequent lower facial rejuvenation surgeries combined with buccal fat reductions is presented with suggestions.
