‘Dubai’s secret to achieving beautifully sculpted facial contours’
Buccal Fat Removal in Dubai
Buccal fat removal is Dubai’s secret to achieving beautifully sculpted facial contours. Also known as cheek fat removal surgery, this minimally invasive procedure enhances facial slimming, accentuates cheekbones, and creates a refined look—all with a quick recovery and no visible scars.
Some individuals are naturally predisposed to fuller, rounder faces due to larger fat pockets in the buccal (cheek) area. For these men and women, no amount of diet or exercise can reduce their "baby face" appearance. While makeup contouring may provide a temporary fix, the three-dimensional fullness of the cheeks can be challenging to conceal.
Buccal fat removal before-and-after transformations showcase elegant refinement in women’s features and a stronger, more defined jawline in men.
If you’ve been longing for slimmer, sculpted cheeks that reveal your natural bone structure, we can help you achieve the look you desire. Discover why buccal fat removal is a sought-after procedure in Dubai. Contact our team today to book a personal consultation with Dr. Ahmad and take the first step toward a more sculpted, confident you!
What is Buccal Fat Removal?
Beneath your cheekbones lie small pads of fat, the size and volume of which vary from person to person based on genetics.
Buccal fat removal is a minimally invasive procedure where a facial plastic surgeon removes a portion of this fat through a tiny incision inside the cheek. The result? Instantly slimmer cheeks and a more defined, contoured facial profile.

Buccal Fat Reduction Top 3 Benefits
No visible scars
One of the top benefits of buccal fat removal surgery is that it leaves no visible scars at all. In fact, the healed incisions inside your cheek will not likely be visible either after several months.
Results are permanent
People ask, How long does buccal fat removal last? Because the fat cells are completely removed rather than shrunk, they cannot return. Even if a person gains weight after surgery, they tend to keep their new facial contours. That means that buccal fat removal 10 years later can appear as satisfying as year 1.
Minimal Downtime
Buccal fat removal recovery is fast. The small incisions heal rapidly and minimal discomfort. For that reason, most people see swelling resolve rapidly, within 1 week. They can resume their usual activities quickly.
Buccal Fat Removal Surgery
What happens during Buccal Fat removal surgery?
Buccal fat removal surgery is a quick procedure, typically lasting an hour or less, and can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with IV sedation.
During the procedure, the plastic surgeon makes a small incision inside the cheek. By applying gentle pressure to the outside of the cheek, the buccal fat pad is easily exposed and removed in the desired amount. This process is repeated on both sides to ensure symmetry. The incisions are then closed using dissolvable sutures, leaving no visible scars.
Who makes an ideal candidate for cheek fat removal?
Buccal fat removal surgery can be performed on individuals ranging from 18 years of age to those well into their senior years. The primary consideration is that the face has fully developed. As long as you are in good health and do not smoke, you may be an excellent candidate for this facial cosmetic procedure.
Ideal candidates typically have soft, rounded cheeks and are at or near their ideal weight. It's important not to remove too much fat, as doing so can result in an unhealthy appearance or skin laxity due to excessive hollowing. For optimal results, it's recommended that any intended weight loss be completed prior to scheduling your buccal fat removal procedure in Dubai.
Buccal Fat Removal Considerations
All cosmetic surgery procedures carry inherent risks and factors for consideration. However, cheek fat removal comes with a very minimal risk of complication.
Possible post-op concerns that your surgeon will discuss with you include but are not limited to: infection, bleeding or hematoma, delayed incision closure, injury to facial nerves, or numbness.
Buccal Fat Removal Recovery
Recovery From Buccal Fat Removal Immediately After Surgery
After your buccal fat removal procedure, you will wake up in our comfortable recovery room. Once you're feeling ready, you can head home with a friend or family member, along with simple care instructions, medication, and your follow-up appointment details.
Recovery From Buccal Fat Removal at Home
The incisions are made inside your mouth, so there are no external bandages. However, your surgeon will recommend sticking to soft and liquid foods for about a week to protect the healing area.
Since the mucosal skin inside your mouth heals quickly, most people are able to return to work within a week. It’s important to avoid heavy lifting or intense workouts that could increase blood pressure in the face, as this may prolong swelling and discomfort.
Follow-Up Visits After a Buccal Fat Removal
We will schedule follow-up appointments to check on your recovery and address any questions to ensure you’re healing well.

-
What does the procedure involve?The surgery typically includes a consultation, placement of the implant through small incisions (often hidden inside the mouth or under the chin), and careful adjustment for a natural result. The procedure is usually done under general or local anesthesia.
-
How long is the recovery period?Most patients experience swelling and mild discomfort for 1–2 weeks. Full recovery and final results may take several weeks to months as the swelling subsides.
-
Will the implants look natural?When performed by a skilled surgeon, facial implants are designed to integrate seamlessly with your natural features, providing subtle yet noticeable improvements.
-
Can facial implants be combined with other procedures?Yes, facial implants are often combined with procedures like rhinoplasty, liposuction, or facelifts to achieve comprehensive facial harmony.

-
How Long Does the Nose Correction / Reshaping Last?For the majority of the Hyaluronic Acid to degrade, more than 12 months will be required. Nonetheless, around one-third of the injection will remain permanent.
-
How Much Does a Nose Job With Filler in Dubai Cost?The costs for a nasal injection containing up to 1 ml of Hyaluronic gel are determined based on the amount of effort and materials required. The price of this injection is AED 2000, excluding value-added tax. The doctor's schedule of fees will be used to determine the price based on the individual effort and materials used. Currently, there is a special offer available for AED 2,100, which is only valid for a few more days.
-
A Nose Correction Without Surgery - What Can I Expect?By undergoing a simple procedure known as Hyaluronic acid implantation, an experienced doctor can help you achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing nose by remodeling its tip or knob area. Observers often tend to notice any facial irregularities, and a nose that has been reshaped through this method will appear more regular and better integrated with the rest of your features, thereby giving the illusion of a smaller nose.
-
Which Hyaluronic Gel (Filler) Is Used?We typically utilize a gel containing synthetic Hyaluronic Acid, which mimics the natural water-retaining substance produced by our bodies. The difference between this synthetic form and the body's own version lies in its chemical stabilization through linking molecules. Other fillers with higher viscosity are less suitable for correcting nasal shape, particularly permanent ones on the nasal ridge, as they either have an unsuitable consistency or are prone to rejection by the body. The gel-like consistency of Hyaluronic Acid allows for a visible, albeit limited lifting effect beneath taut nasal skin. In the event of need, hyaluronidase can dissolve the Hyaluronic Acid gel.
-
How Does a Nose Job Without Surgery Proceed?To begin the procedure, the nose will be locally numbed as required. The Hyaluronic Acid gel will then be accurately implanted beneath the skin to correct the specific needs of the nose. If a local anesthetic is administered, its effects may last for approximately an hour following the treatment. There is no need for downtime or recovery time, and you may resume your daily activities right away.
-
What Unwanted Side Effects Are Possible?It is likely that the treated area will experience swelling and redness after being treated with Hyaluronic Acid. After a nose correction, small hematomas may appear, but they are not comparable to the significant bleeding that may occur after a Rhinoplasty operation. These hematomas can be concealed with make-up and typically disappear within three days. While vigorous massaging may shift the position of the Hyaluronic Acid slightly, it should only be done by the treating physician. Prior to treatment, you will receive information on the potential side effects of any intervention that affects the integrity of the human body, including rare but possible effects on blood and nerve supply, as well as the wound itself. These risks are similar to those associated with the injection of premium-quality Hyaluronic Acid for wrinkle treatment. If you are unsatisfied with the results, Nose Fillers can be dissolved using an appropriate enzyme.
-
Is the Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty with Nose Filler Safe?Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in human tissue and doesn't cause rejection reactions. When working with this substance, we use small amounts and needles. Nevertheless, any invasive procedure carries some degree of risk, and the safety of a non-medically necessary treatment should be paramount. Even a relatively safe procedure should not be promoted as entirely risk-free. The injection of Hyaluronic Acid into tissue involves the implantation of a foreign substance, which has mechanical, osmotic, and growth-modulating effects.
-
Is a Nose Job Without Surgery Painful?By administering a local anesthetic to delicate areas, the procedure can be comfortably endured, although some mild discomfort may still be present. Patients may have differing levels of pain perception; for instance, those who underwent a nose correction using Hyaluronic Acid gel may experience temporary, slight discomfort. By employing basic pain medication, we aim to maximize your level of comfort.

-
When Can I See the Result?Although the nose may be slightly swollen immediately after the treatment, the results will be visible.

This evaluation typically takes place after ten days.
-
Am I a Suitable Candidate for a Nose Correction Without Surgery?To achieve a successful course of therapy with Hyaluronic Acid treatment, it is essential to have realistic expectations and a clear comprehension of the limits associated with this cosmetic-aesthetic procedure, such as consistency, breakdown, and tissue response.
