Buccal Fat
Removal
Are chubby cheeks keeping you from feeling like the best version of yourself? For many people, the face narrows naturally over time. Others may find that the “baby fat” in their cheeks never leaves. Buccal fat removal in Colombia is a solution for targeting roundness in the face and enhancing the facial contour.
Dr. Alan González is a double board-certified plastic surgeon offering a full menu of face and body procedures at his state-of-the-art facilities in Barranquilla, Bogotá. With 23+ years of experience performing more than 18,000 cosmetic procedures, Dr. Alan is uniquely qualified to provide you exceptional care and outstanding results.
What is Buccal Fat Removal?
The buccal fat pad is a small, naturally-occurring pad of fat located just under the cheekbone. In some people, this fat contributes to a rounder face shape, making the face look chubby. Removing the buccal fat pad creates a V-shape to the lower face with more defined cheekbones and jawline. Since the fat is removed, the results of this procedure are considered permanent.
Dr. Alan performs buccal fat removal in Colombia using a small incision inside the mouth, eliminating visible scarring after surgery. He removes the buccal fat pad and uses radiofrequency to control bleeding and inflammation during and after the procedure. This allows the incision to close on its own without the need for sutures. The surgery can be done with a local anesthetic, and patients can return to their hotel a few hours after the procedure.

Why Undergo Buccal Fat Removal with Dr. Alan González?
Dr. Alan is considered a premiere plastic surgeon in Colombia with years of experience and proprietary techniques for his most popular surgical procedures. Buccal fat removal is not suitable for everyone since it can accelerate the aging process in some patients. Dr. Alan will assess your facial proportions and other factors to ensure buccal fat removal produces natural, long-lasting results.
