In Bakersfield, where individual style and aesthetic preferences are diverse, Desired Beauty offers a broad range of cosmetic procedures to help you achieve the look you desire. One increasingly popular option is cheek reduction surgery, which primarily involves buccal fat removal. Ideal for both men and women, this procedure aims to provide a more contoured and mature facial look.

Why Opt for Cheek Reduction Surgery?

Facial features can often dictate the first impressions we make, and for some, overly full or chubby cheeks can be a source of self-consciousness or even lower self-esteem. Recognizing the integral role of appearance in psychological well-being, Dr. Farzin Kerendian and the team at Desired Beauty in Bakersfield are committed to offering surgical solutions tailored to your unique aesthetic needs.

The Process: How is Cheek Reduction Achieved?

The procedure typically zeroes in on the buccal fat pad, a specific fat deposit in the cheek responsible for a fuller, rounded facial aesthetic. The surgery involves making small incisions inside the mouth to eliminate these fat pads, resulting in no visible facial scars and a more straightforward recovery.

One notable feature of this surgery is its adaptability. It can be performed under local anesthesia, allowing you to remain “awake” during the process—a convenient choice for those who might prefer to avoid general anesthesia. Depending on your specific needs and the extent of contouring desired, additional techniques like fat transfer can also be incorporated into the procedure.

Buccal Fat Removal: Post-Procedure Expectations

After undergoing cheek reduction surgery at Desired Beauty in Bakersfield, you can generally return home the same day. You’ll be furnished with all the essential aftercare instructions, including tips on pain management and caring for your internal incisions. A follow-up appointment is scheduled within a week or two to evaluate the surgical area, monitor the healing process, and manage any potential swelling or discomfort. While you might notice immediate changes, it generally takes three to four weeks to appreciate the full benefits of the surgery as your face settles into its new, contoured appearance.
