The Procedure

Our Marina del Rey buccal fat removal treatment can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on your needs. The entire operation takes just 30 to 60 minutes to complete. To begin, Dr. Macias will create an incision inside your cheek. He will then remove the buccal fat pads through those openings and close the incisions with two small sutures.

Buccal fat removal is often performed in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures and non-surgical treatments, depending on your specific needs.
