Reveal More Sculpted Facial Angles

Buccal fat pad removal in Dallas is a surgery that reduces fullness in the lower cheeks, creating a more sculpted, defined appearance. The buccal fat pads are naturally occurring pockets of fat located deep between the cheek muscles, beneath the cheekbones, and closer to the midface.

During surgery, Dr. Mohan carefully removes a precise amount of this fat through small incisions placed inside your mouth, leaving no visible external scars. The goal is not to hollow your face, but to create a balanced, refined definition that complements your natural facial anatomy.

Your Complete Buccal Fat Pad Removal Experience

Consultation

Dr. Mohan will evaluate your facial anatomy, skin quality, cheek volume, and underlying bone structure to determine whether you are a good candidate for buccal fat pad removal in Dallas. He will closely examine the relationship between your cheekbones, midface, jawline, and lower cheeks to understand whether reducing the buccal fat pads will create balanced definition. Dr. Mohan will also discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history, weight stability, and long-term aging considerations. Because buccal fat removal permanently reduces volume deep within the cheeks, he takes a thoughtful approach focused on refinement. You will leave with a personalized plan and a clear understanding of the expected results.

Procedure

During buccal fat pad removal in Dallas, Dr. Mohan begins by creating small incisions inside your mouth, typically along the inner lining of the cheeks near the upper molars. Because the incisions are placed internally, there are no visible scars. Through these openings, he accesses the buccal fat pads, which sit deep between the facial muscles beneath the cheekbones. Using precise surgical technique, Dr. Mohan gently removes a controlled amount of fat to refine cheek contour while preserving facial balance. He carefully protects the surrounding structures, including facial nerves, muscles, and salivary ducts. Once the desired contour is achieved, the incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures, and you return home the same day.

Recovery

You can expect swelling, mild tightness, and soreness inside the cheeks during the first several days. Dr. Mohan typically recommends a soft-food diet initially to avoid irritating the internal incisions while the tissues heal. Most patients return to work and social activities within about one week, although residual swelling can continue improving for several weeks afterward. You will also need to rinse your mouth regularly and follow Dr. Mohan’s aftercare instructions to reduce irritation and support healing. Because the procedure refines deep volume, your final contour develops gradually as swelling resolves and the cheeks settle into their new shape.

Results

Your cheeks will gradually appear slimmer, more sculpted, and better defined as swelling resolves. While you may notice early contour changes within several weeks, the final results typically continue refining over three to six months as the deeper facial tissues settle. Because the buccal fat pads are permanently removed, your results are considered long-lasting. However, maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle can preserve your facial contours over time. Natural aging will still affect skin elasticity and facial volume, but the refined cheek definition created by Dr. Mohan’s precise approach should last.

Buccal Fat Pad Removal Frequently Asked Questions

Will buccal fat pad removal make your face look too hollow?

When performed thoughtfully, buccal fat pad removal should create refined definition, not a gaunt appearance. Dr. Mohan carefully evaluates your facial anatomy, cheekbone structure, skin quality, and long-term aging patterns before recommending surgery.

Are there visible scars after surgery?

No. Dr. Mohan performs the procedure through small incisions placed inside your mouth, so there are no visible external scars on your face.

Am I a good candidate if I already have a slim face?

Possibly not. If your face is naturally narrow or you have limited facial fat volume, removing buccal fat may create excessive hollowness over time. Dr. Mohan takes a conservative approach focused on preserving natural balance and elegant aging.
