Fat Reduction
Duration
2 hours
Buccal Fat Removal at 152 Harley Street is surgery to reduce fat held between the cheekbone and jawbone. The surgeon reaches the buccal fat through an incision inside the cheek, removes the selected tissue, and closes the incision with dissolvable sutures. It may be considered by people seeking a more contoured facial appearance or clearer cheekbone and jawline definition. The clinic cautions that it may not suit people with an already narrow, highly defined face and is not usually recommended solely because of older age. Soft food is advised for the first week. Prices start from approximately £3,250.
