Buccal Fat Pad Removal

Buccal Fat Pad Removal

Buccal fat removal, also known as Bichectomy, is a surgical procedure that helps to create a more defined and contoured facial appearance.

Home » Plastic Surgery » Face » Buccal Fat Pad Removal

It targets the buccal fat pads, which are small pockets of fat located in the cheeks.

These fat pads can cause the cheeks to appear overly full or round, and can create an unbalanced or disproportionate facial appearance. Buccal fat removal can help to improve facial symmetry, balance, and proportion, and can create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. It is a popular procedure among individuals who are looking to achieve a more sculpted and defined facial contour, and can be performed as a standalone procedure or in combination with other facial rejuvenation techniques

Benefits of Lipo 3D:

In addition to providing a more contoured and shapely figure, Lipo 3D can also improve self-confidence and body image. Patients may also experience a boost in their overall health and well-being, as excess fat around the waist, hips, and thighs can increase the risk of various health conditions.

Procedure overview:

Lipo 3D typically involves making small incisions in the targeted areas and using a cannula (a thin, hollow tube) to suction out fat cells. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours, depending on the extent of the treatment. Recovery time varies, but patients should expect to take some time off work and avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks following the surgery.

Risks and considerations:

Like any surgery, Lipo 3D carries some risks, including bleeding, infection, and scarring. It is important to carefully follow your plastic surgeon's pre- and post-operative instructions to minimize these risks. Additionally, patients should be aware that Lipo 3D is not a weight loss procedure and that maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen is necessary to maintain the results of the surgery.

When I first moved to Miami 4 years ago. I was scared to try someone new for my Botox (25 years I have been doing it). Dr. Enrico Gomez was recommended. He was fantastic. He was even better then my top Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. I started asking him about a neck- face lift, as I turned 56. It’s been a year and a half now and it was the best work I have ever seen. Going back to L.A. just 3 weeks after and all my friends went crazy over it. As they all had them done in the past and said mine was better. My ex brother in-law Dr. Teri Dubrow from the T.V. Show, Botched & my ex boss for 17 years Dr. Paul Nassif have done some Botox & fillers. But I have to say no need for me to run back & forth to L.A. I trust Dr. EnricoGomez so much. He did my botched up breast reduction, taking me from a saggy DDD to a perky C, a tummy tuck, followed some lipo in some areas. He is an artist. I look like the sculpture statue in the waiting area. Living in Miami at age 56. I wanted to wear less clothes and could not walk around in bikini tops & white leggings but now I can. I am extremely happy with my results, the staff etc. I will continue with all the modern up-to-date facials. I am having so much fun with my new body. I highly recommend Vitto.

I had such an AMAZING experience with Dr. Vitto and her team! We travelled all the way from Connecticut to come see her and Dr Gómez. The office is so beautiful and clean and everyone is incredibly welcoming and friendly. I did a facial and Botox and my mom came to do an eyelid lift- both were painless and easy. I would recommend Vitto M.D to everyone i know. So so happy with my experience!!

I am so thankful to have found VITTO MD. I had been wanting to get a breast augmentation with a lift for a very long time due to my insecurity with a deformity in my breasts. I was always very concerned and nervous about following through with such a huge procedure, but I knew I was in the right hands the moment I met Dr. Gomez in my first consultation. He made me feel very comfortable and at ease with his vast knowledge and confidence. He is very professional, kind, and highly experienced. In addition, Dr. Gomez has great bedside manner and provides quality patient care. He is extremely talented and very skilled in his profession. I could not believe the amazing results I got! They were better than I could have imagined. I had a great recovery and Dr. Gomez was always available and happy to assist me with any question and/or concern I had throughout my entire journey. My breasts healed perfectly and they appear very natural and perfect. I became very emotional during my follow-up appointment the day after my surgery. Dr. Gomez helped me feel happier and more confident with my breasts. He is the best in what he does. He has made so many patients, more than I can count, happier throughout his entire career, which have been many, many years of experience. VITTO MD has some of the best office and medical staff I have ever met. Everyone is so helpful, kind, and they provide quality attention to all of the patients that walk through their door. I would most definitely recommend VITTO MD to anyone looking to improve any physical features but with some of the best in the profession.
