Buccal Fat Removal
Your face, your contours – gently, safely and permanently defined
Sometimes the face does not reflect how young, dynamic and confident you feel. Voluminous cheeks can hide contours and give the face a rounder appearance – often regardless of weight or lifestyle.
With buccal fat removal, we can help you achieve clearer, more defined facial features that emphasize your natural radiance. During the minimally invasive procedure, we gently remove excess cheek fat to create a harmonious, balanced overall appearance. The result? A slimmer, more striking face that naturally emphasizes your unique character. You look like you – only more radiant, defined and self-confident.
With over 10 years of experience in plastic and aesthetic surgery, we know: Aesthetic treatment is more than a purely medical procedure. It is a personal decision and often also a journey to greater satisfaction and self-confidence. Our experienced team will treat you with the highest level of expertise, precision and empathy. Together, we will develop a customized treatment concept that is perfectly tailored to your individual wishes and needs.

Definition of
What is buccal fat removal?
Buccal fat removal is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which excess fat deposits in the cheeks are specifically removed. The aim is a slimmer, more contoured face and a harmonious, defined profile – without visible scars, as the incisions are made inside the oral cavity.
Many patients opt for surgery for the following reasons:
- Round or full cheeks that make the face appear wider
- Desire for a slimmer, V-shaped facial profile
- Harmonization of facial features for a more youthful appearance
- Improving self-confidence and charisma
- Desire for clearer contours despite normal body weight
Buccal fat removal enhances the natural beauty of the face while creating a fresh, defined look that emphasizes the individual personality.
Treatment methods
Possibilities of buccal fat removal in Frankfurt
With buccal fat removal, the so-called buccal fat pads – fat deposits in the cheek area – are specifically removed to achieve a slimming of the lower third of the face. The good news is that once fat has been removed, it does not grow back, so the effects are long-lasting.
The treatment method is characterized by its precision and gentleness. The oral mucosa is locally anesthetized for the procedure. The fat pads are gently removed via a small incision inside the oral cavity. The wound is then closed with self-dissolving stitches. Thanks to its effectiveness and short downtime, buccal fat removal is very popular as a gentle step towards a contoured, defined appearance.
