Buccal Fat Removal Atlanta GA

The buccal fat is a pad of fat in the lower cheek area which carries vessels and nerves and is a nice cushion for these structures. When in excess, the face appears moonlike with a heavy lower cheek, a diminished contour to the upper cheek bone area and less light reflection of the upper face. Board certified oral maxillofacial surgeons are highly skilled facial surgeons specializing in the underlying bony structure of the face and are the specialists who can dissect this
fat and resect a safe amount to allow for contouring of the face without causing undesired cosmetic effects such as over hollowing of the lower cheeks. These surgeons understand the complexities of the way the bony structure of the face interacts with fat, muscle and skin and can easily dissect this fat and remove a small portion which will permanently contour the face to a more desirable shape that is less like a moon or ball and more ovaloid or inverse triangular shape (the shape of a youthful face). Following a buccal fat removal, physician injectors can address contour and facial shape with fillers and botox (yes, botox can slim the jaw and cause facial slimming! Read about that in the next blog post-these are exciting times!!). In the celebrities mentioned, multiple different modalities have been used to restructure their face shape and create light reflection using fillers to elevate the cheek bones and tear troughs to create less shadowing in these areas. Buccal fat removal is a short procedure with minimal downtime and is an outpatient surgery. As any surgery has risks, buccal fat should only be performed by a board certified surgeon who is specially trained in complex facial surgeries. My favorite Atlanta area facial surgeon for buccal fat removal is Dr. Abtin Shahriari is a board certified oral maxillofacial surgeon trained at University of Pennsylvania and Emory University with 8 years of training, along with over 14 years of post graduate surgical experience. Experience matters, experience matters, experience matters.
