Reduce Your Facial Fat
This procedure delicately removes excess cheek fullness, refining contours and enhancing facial harmony to highlight your natural beauty.
Full or rounded cheeks can soften your facial definition or obscure your natural bone structure, affecting how you feel about your appearance. With our buccal fat removal in South Barrington, Dr. Renee Burke can skillfully refine your cheek area for elegantly balanced proportions and restored confidence in your reflection.
The Buccal Fat Removal Process
Consultation
Your journey starts with a detailed consultation where Dr. Burke evaluates your face shape, discusses your goals, and explains the procedure. She creates a personalized plan that respects your natural features while addressing areas of fullness to influence facial harmony. Each step focuses on achieving balance and natural refinement.
Procedure
Dr. Burke makes a small incision inside the mouth under local anesthesia. She gently removes a controlled amount of fat from the buccal pads to refine your facial contours. Then, she closes the incisions with dissolvable sutures to encourage completely invisible scars.
Recovery
After a few days, you can return to light activities, though you should avoid strenuous movement or lifting for 2 weeks. Mild swelling and bruising subside within several weeks, revealing more defined contours. As healing continues, your facial structure showcases your refined results.
How We Perform Our Surgeries
Precision
Dr. Burke carefully identifies and removes fat from the buccal pads while preserving your natural facial structure and symmetry.
Artistry
Every refinement centers around balancing proportions to create graceful definition without compromising natural softness.
Compassion
Our team of aesthetic experts ensures your comfort through attentive care and clear communication in an environment built on trust and empathy.
Pre-Care Instructions
Maintain good oral hygiene before surgery. A clean environment can prevent irritation or infection at the incision sites.
Avoid alcohol, nicotine, and blood-thinning medications for several days prior to your appointment to promote healing.
Post-Care Instructions
Rinse gently with an antibacterial mouthwash to keep the incision area clean and free of irritation or infection.
Rest for several days before resuming light activities. Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and chewing hard foods.
Attend all follow-up visits so Dr. Burke can monitor healing, ensure symmetry, and guide your ongoing recovery.
