Cost of Buccal Fat Removal

If you have naturally chubby cheeks, all the diet and exercise in the world won’t help you. That’s why most people decide to go under the knife, but what are your options? Buccal fat removal is a popular surgery that will leave you with a slimmer face and more pronounced cheekbones.

The cost of buccal fat removal can vary due to multiple factors, but most people believe that the results are worth the price. However, if you are concerned about the cost, there are ways you can pay it off in small installments.

This article will discuss how much you need to spend to achieve your desired results and other factors you will need to consider.

Buccal Fat Removal Explained

Everyone has fat pads on each cheek, and some are naturally bigger than others. During the buccal fat removal surgery, your doctor will remove the fat pads to make your face look more symmetrical and reduce the puffiness of the cheeks.

This surgery is ideal for people in good health and who haven’t been able to reduce the fullness of their cheeks naturally. This procedure is straightforward and effective which requires a small incision that does not leave a scar.

The Cost of Buccal Fat Removal Surgery

When it comes to the amount of money you need to spend on this procedure, it will vary depending on factors such as location, the plastic surgeon, and what type of anesthetic your doctor uses. Typically, cheek reduction surgery can set you back between $2,000 – $5,000.

Does Insurance Cover Cheek Reduction Surgery?

Does Insurance Cover Cheek Reduction Surgery?

It is unusual for insurance plans to cover the cost of this surgery; however, some insurers will cover it if it falls under reconstructive surgery.

Below is an explanation of the terms used for coverage:

  • Reconstructive Surgery

Surgery to correct abnormal body tissues resulting from defects, trauma, disease, infection, or tumors.

  • Cosmetic Surgery

This surgery corrects or reshapes people’s body issues, improves their appearance, and boosts self-esteem. 

Few insurers will cover cosmetic surgeries; however, some might cover reconstructive procedures. Before this procedure, check with your insurance to see if they cover all or some of the costs.

Alternative Payment Options

If you cannot afford to pay the total cost of your surgery all at once, speak to your specialist to see if they offer a payment plan. That will allow you to pay off your procedure in smaller installments each month.

Another option is to seek out plastic surgery financing options, like a loan where you pay back the money in installments with interest.

The Buccal Fat Removal Surgery

The Buccal Fat Removal Surgery

When you have decided that you want to go ahead with cheek reduction surgery, you need to speak to your specialist about factors like:

  • Expectations and desired results
  • Medical history and conditions
  • Medications which include multi-vitamins and supplements
  • Whether you smoke, drink, or use drugs
  • Any allergies you might have
  • If you have had any previous surgeries

Your doctor needs all this information to determine the best surgery for your specific situation, risk factors, and recovery period.

There is a chance that you will need to stop taking certain medications or have additional blood tests before your surgery. Your doctor will find the best treatment plan for your specific needs and what you want to achieve.

The Surgery

Firstly your plastic surgeon will decide whether the surgery will take place in-office or at a hospital. Next, your plastic surgeon will administer a local or general anesthetic, depending on where the procedure occurs. 

Your specialist will make a minute incision on the inside of your cheek; once done, your doctor will place pressure on the outer part of the cheek, which makes the buccal fat pad more accessible. Lastly, your surgeon will remove the fat and stitch up the incision.

Aftercare

Your doctor will provide you with an antibacterial mouthwash to ensure no infection. You will also have to consume a liquid diet for two days after the procedure. 

Once your wound has a few days to heal, you can move to soft foods like porridge and jelly. After 7-14 days, you can start to eat normally again.

You might experience some swelling or bruise after your surgery, but it will subside after a few days, and you should be completely healed after 21 days. 

Your plastic surgeon will advise you about any follow-up appointments to monitor your wound healing and ensure no infection. Although you heal in a few weeks, achieving your desired results can take several months.
