Contour With Precision
Buccal Fat Removal at The Godek Center for Personal Enhancement
It can be frustrating when round, full cheeks overshadow your facial features, especially if you've tried everything from weight loss to makeup tricks. At The Godek Center for Personal Enhancement, we offer a personalized solution: Buccal Fat Removal. Our New Jersey practice specializes in cheek reduction surgery using refined techniques that sculpt and define your natural bone structure.
Sculpted and Sleek
What is Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal Fat Removal is an aesthetic surgery that targets the buccal fat pad (the pocket of fat in the lower cheeks). While this fat serves a purpose in youth, it may contribute to an overly soft or "baby-faced" appearance in adulthood. By precisely removing or reducing this fat, we help patients achieve a more angular, contoured facial profile.
Redefining Beauty
Buccal Fat Removal Benefits
At our practice in New Jersey Buccal Fat Removal is a powerful, permanent way to refine the mid-face and bring out natural facial contours. When done by an experienced plastic surgeon, it enhances facial harmony and reduces the appearance of puffiness in the lower cheeks.
Additional benefits include:
- Slimmer, more sculpted cheeks
- Enhanced cheekbone and jawline definition
- Balanced facial proportions
- No visible scars
- Minimal downtime
- Long-lasting results
This procedure can also be combined with other facial surgeries or injectables to create a full-face transformation.
Are You a Fit?
Buccal Fat Removal Candidates
You might be a good candidate for buccal fat removal if...
- You feel your face looks overly round or full, especially in the lower cheeks
- You're at or near your goal weight
- You want a more defined and mature facial aesthetic
- You're in good overall health with realistic expectations
People with very thin faces (as over-resection can create a hollowed look with age) or those with certain medical conditions may not be eligible for Buccal Fat Removal. A consultation will help determine if this is the best approach for your goals.

Consultation and Preparation
During your initial consultation at The Godek Center for Personal Enhancement, one of our skilled providers will take a look at your facial structure, medical history, and cosmetic goals. You'll also get personalized advice on how to prepare, including avoiding blood thinners, stopping smoking, and arranging for aftercare support if needed.
Your Buccal Fat Removal Procedure
This outpatient procedure typically takes up to an hour. After applying a local anesthetic, a small incision is made on the inside of each cheek (no visible scarring!). The doctor carefully removes a conservative amount of the buccal fat pad to ensure balanced, natural-looking results. Then, the internal incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures.
You will be able to go home the same day with detailed post-op instructions.
Healing Up
Buccal Fat Removal Recovery and Aftercare
Downtime is minimal, though you may want to take a couple of days off for rest. Expect some swelling, mild discomfort, and tenderness for the first few days. Most patients return to work within two or three days.
Post-op care includes:
- Eating soft foods for several days
- Rinsing with an antiseptic mouthwash
- Sleeping with your head elevated
- Avoiding strenuous activities for about a week
A follow-up appointment may be scheduled after your buccal fat removal procedure to monitor your healing and results.
Real Results, Right on Time
Buccal Fat Removal Results
Initial swelling is normal and may take a few weeks to subside. As your swelling goes down, your final results will reveal a slimmer, more chiseled facial shape. Most patients notice significant changes within four to six weeks, with full results visible within three months.
Best of all, the results are permanent. Once the buccal fat is removed, it does not grow back.
