What is Buccal Fat Removal?

Buccal Fat Removal is a surgical facial procedure which addresses the concern of chubby cheeks. Round cheeks is a common concern for many people regardless of overall body weight and can give an overly young appearance to the face.

Removing the buccal fat pads involves your surgeon making a small incision on the inside of each cheek, through the mouth. The fat pads are extracted, resulting in slimmer cheeks and a defined lower face contour.

If you are considering Buccal Fat Removal, it is crucial to know what is included in any prices you are quoted. Understanding what is covered in any surgical package will indicate the quality of the surgical results you can expect, as well as factors such as the clinic’s patient safety.

The following points can all have an effect on Buccal Fat Removal price UK 

The Consultant Performing Your Buccal Fat Removal

Buccal Fat Removal surgery should be performed by a specialist consultant surgeon who has expert knowledge of facial anatomy, as well as a nuanced understanding of facial proportions.

A specialist surgeon will:

• Explain whether you require a full or partial Buccal Fat Pad Removal to achieve the most flattering results to achieve your aesthetic goals
• Show you a range of before and after photos from previous Buccal Fat Pad Removal procedures they have performed to demonstrate the quality and consistency of their results
• Be able to show you examples of patients they have treated who have similar concerns and desired results to you
• Achieve natural, flattering results that will stand the test of time

The most important consideration when looking for a Buccal Fat Removal surgeon is finding someone who can effectively address your concerns. If your procedure is anticipated to be more complex for any reason, it is essential to prioritise your safety, and achieving a high-quality result which may result in a higher Buccal Fat Removal price UK.

Safety and Patient Outcomes Data

Safety and Patient Outcomes Data is a vital part of quality control within healthcare. Surgical providers should transparently publish this information, allowing patients to make informed decisions about where they choose to seek treatment. When considering Buccal Fat Extraction cost, looking at this information in detail is a valuable indication of the quality of any surgical provider.

• Our infection rate was 0.2%, compared to a 4.7% national average

Why Should You Not Have Buccal Fat Removal Abroad?

In recent years, seeking surgery abroad has become increasingly popular. Although the draw of achieving your desired results with a lower Buccal Fat Pad Removal cost can be appealing, there are several issues which can, unfortunately, arise during surgery outside of the UK.

When considering a procedure such as Buccal Fat Removal, which has received high levels of media attention, it is essential to take these potential issues even more seriously, as there are disreputable providers outside of the UK, who are unfortunately looking to take advantage of people’s insecurities and desire to undergo surgery.

• Marketing for cosmetic surgery abroad may promise more than is delivered. If you see providers offering surgical packages at a dramatically lower price than anywhere else, you need to understand precisely what is included
• There have been reports of patients having surgery abroad who do not speak to their surgeon ahead of their procedure. An in-person consultation is vital for being able to communicate your concerns and achieving your desired results
• Every country has different medical regulations and training for their surgeons. It may not be possible to establish the experience of your surgeon or the safety standards of the clinic where your surgery is taking place
• Following your procedure, you may not be provided with comprehensive post-operative support. Having recovery contacts in the UK for aftercare advice is crucial for your safety

The safest way to undergo Buccal Fat Removal is to find a trustworthy UK-based provider who offers comprehensive care and support throughout your surgical journey. In the UK, regulators such as the CQC and the General Medical Council provide transparent information on all medical facilities and UK-qualified surgeons to empower patients looking for the best quality care.
