The procedure

What isbuccal fat removal?

Buccal fat removal is a precise, minimally invasive procedure that refines the shape of your mid face by reducing the buccal fat pad which is a deep, naturally occurring pocket of fat that sits between cheekbone and jaw.

Because this fat sits deep in the mid face and doesn't respond to diet or exercise, no amount of training or clean eating will ever shift it.

Cheekbones that finally show, a slimmer profile, and contours that look like you were simply born with them.

The benefits

What this actuallychanges for you

Sharper cheekbone and jawline definition

The bone structure you felt was hidden finally shows, the sculpted profile that dieting could never give you.

No visible scarring

Every incision is made inside the mouth, so nothing shows on your face.

Long-lasting results

Once the buccal fat is reduced, those fat cells don't come back, so the slimming effect is long-lasting.

Quick recovery

Most people are back to their normal routine within 4-5 days, with mild early swelling that settles as you heal.

Pairs beautifully with other procedures

Refining the cheeks alongside other facial work creates balanced, harmonised results that look effortless and whole.

A one-time alternative to fillers

Unlike fillers that fade and need topping up, buccal fat removal is done once. No repeat appointments, no recurring cost.

Am I a candidate?

You may be a suitable candidateif this sounds familiar

Not every full cheek is buccal fat, and not every face benefits from reducing it. The right candidate has genuine buccal fullness in the mid face and enough underlying structure for the definition to read naturally once it's reduced. That's exactly what your consultation establishes.

  • You have naturally fuller cheeks that remain despite maintaining a healthy weight
  • You want a slimmer, more defined lower face
  • You've lost weight everywhere else and the cheeks stayed full
  • You've tried dieting and exercise, and the mid face never changed
  • You're a busy professional wanting maximum impact with minimal disruption, a quick recovery, several concerns addressed at once

Not sure whether it's buccal fat? That's the first thing your consultation confirms.

Why patientstravel to Dr. Luis

Dr. Luis brings the renowned artistry of Colombian plastic surgery to Dubai, where facial aesthetics are guided by one simple principle: natural harmony over dramatic change. Rather than simply removing facial volume, his approach focuses on revealing the definition that's already there, creating balanced, elegant contours that complement your unique features.

Every face deserves an individualised approach. Buccal fat removal is carefully planned around your facial anatomy, bone structure, skin quality and long-term ageing considerations, to achieve a slimmer, more refined appearance without looking overdone.

Most importantly, your care doesn't end after surgery. From your first consultation through every follow-up, Dr. Luis and his experienced medical team remain closely involved, providing personalised guidance and attentive aftercare for a smooth recovery and beautiful, lasting results.

Before & after

The difference is inthe mid face

Drag to compare

Look at the mid face and the line running from cheekbone to chin. The change is structural. The same face, more clearly defined.

The mid face

Fullness through the cheek softens, so the face reads slimmer from the front.

The cheekbone

Structure that was already there becomes visible once the pad above it is reduced.

The jawline

The line from cheekbone to chin sharpens, clearest in the profile views.
