Whether seeking a more youthful pout or looking to sculpt your face for a sleeker profile, Dr. CV Chegireddy guides you through these transformative procedures with expert precision and unparalleled care as you embrace a newfound sense of confidence.
Understanding Buccal Fat Removal
Buccal fat removal is also known as cheek reduction surgery. It involves removing excess fat in the cheeks to achieve a slimmer facial appearance. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis.
During buccal fat removal, small incisions are made inside the mouth near the corners of the lips. The surgeon then gently removes or trims down the buccal fat pads contributing to a fuller face shape. The amount of tissue removed depends on each individual’s desired outcome and natural facial structure.
Patients can experience enhanced facial contours and improved harmony between their features by removing excess cheek fullness with buccal fat removal. This procedure is popular among individuals who desire a sleeker profile or wish to balance out disproportionate cheek volume with other areas of their face.
Understanding the Lip Lift Procedure
The lip lift procedure involves removing a small strip of skin below your nose and the upper lip, which helps to increase the visibility of the vermilion border (the natural border between our lips and facial skin) and shorten the philtrum. By shortening this distance, a lip lift can create a more pronounced cupid’s bow and provide added fullness to thin or aging lips.
During this procedure, Dr. CV Chegieddy takes great care in creating precise incisions and shaping your new lip contour. Additionally, he ensures minimal scarring by strategically placing incisions along natural creases or within the nostrils for internal lip lifts. The result is fuller, shapelier lips with enhanced aesthetics while maintaining balance with other facial features.
Lip Lift and Buccal Fat Removal: Are You a Candidate?
A lip lift is ideal for someone who wants a fuller, younger appearance of their lips. Good candidates are people with long upper lips, thin lips, or a larger distance than they would like between the nose and the upper lip. The distance between the nose and the upper lip increases with age as we lose skin elasticity. Lip lifts provide more overall definition to the face. An ideal candidate for buccal fat removal is someone who would like a little more contouring in their face and views themselves as too “childlike” in the cheeks.
If you’re considering these procedures, consulting with an experienced plastic surgeon like those at Aesthera Plastic Surgery is essential. They will assess your suitability based on your unique facial anatomy, overall health, and desired outcomes.
Cost of Lip Lift and Buccal Fat Removal

The price of a lip lift can vary depending on several factors, including the surgeon’s expertise, geographic location, and the specifics of your case.

Frequently Asked Questions about Lip Lift and Buccal Fat Removal
What is the recovery period like after a lip lift or a buccal fat removal?
The recovery period after a lip lift is relatively short. Patients can expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort for a few days after the surgery. Most individuals can return to work and regular activities within a week, but full recovery may take a few weeks.
Will there be visible scarring after a lip lift or buccal fat removal?
Yes, there will be a small scar just below the base of the nose. However, skilled plastic surgeons strive to make the incision in a natural crease or the border between the nose and upper lip, making the scar less noticeable over time.
The scar for the buccal fat removal is invisible to others since it is on the inside of your mouth. During your consultation Dr. CV Chegireddy will review where your incision will be placed.
Are the results of buccal fat removal and lip lift permanent?
The results of buccal fat removal are generally permanent since the removed fat pads do not grow back. However, it's essential to consider that the face can naturally change with age, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can influence the longevity of the results. The results for a lip lift are long lasting, but as you age the length of the upper lip will increase accordingly.
Can buccal fat removal be combined with other procedures?
To achieve comprehensive facial harmony, buccal fat removal can be combined with other facial procedures such as rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, or facelift surgery.
What if I lose weight after buccal fat removal?
While buccal fat removal permanently reduces the fat in the cheeks, significant weight loss may still lead to changes in facial volume and overall appearance.
Can I get lip filler after lip lift?
It is very common for patients to get lip filler after undergoing a lip lift. Sometimes lip filler is administered with the lip lift to improve the volume and shape of the lips simultaneously.
