01.How is Buccal Fat Excision performed?
The typical approach for removing the buccal fat pad is through an incision in the mouth. Once the buccal fat is visible, a thin casing over the fat is opened and the fat is gently teased out while gentle pressure is applied externally. The fat is then cauterized at the base and removed. The remainder of the buccal fat pad then is replaced to its anatomic site and the oral mucosa is sutured close, and the two incisions are sutured.
