Buccal Fat Removal in Mexico City

Define your face, highlight your cheekbones, and refine your features permanently.

Buccal fat removal (extraction of the Bichat fat pads) is the ideal procedure for patients who, despite being at their ideal weight, have a rounded face or full cheeks. In a quick and minimally invasive surgery, Dr. Pérez Cerezo refines the facial contour to reveal a much more sculpted and attractive bone structure, with no visible scars.

The Problem

When your ideal weight is not reflected in your face

Often, the accumulation of fat in the cheeks is a purely genetic matter that does not respond to diet or exercise. This creates a youthful or “moon face” appearance that completely hides the beauty of your cheekbones and jawline.
The Bichat fat pads have no significant structural function in adulthood, so their removal is a highly aesthetic procedure that provides permanent facial contouring.

Schedule an appointment

Excessively round face A lack of angles and facial definition, making the face look wider, flatter, and heavier than it actually is.

Youthful or “chubby-cheeked” appearance Prominent cheeks that do not match a mature age or the slender physique of the rest of your body.

Absence of defined cheekbones The dense layer of encapsulated Bichat fat hides your natural bone structure, preventing the cheekbone from standing out aesthetically.

Constant internal biting A very common functional discomfort where excessive internal volume causes repeated biting of the cheeks when speaking or chewing.

The Solution

Bichat Fat Pad Extraction: Contour and Definition

Bichat fat pads are very specific, encapsulated fat deposits located within the thickness of the cheeks, just below the cheekbones. Unlike subcutaneous fat, this fat is not burned through exercise.
Using a very precise outpatient technique, Dr. Pérez Cerezo makes a millimeter-sized incision inside the mouth. The procedure is quick, leaves no external scars on your face, and sculpts a subtle yet impactful line of beauty that defines the highly desired “facial triangle of youth.”

Facial Assessment

We analyze your bone structure to ensure you are an ideal candidate and that the extraction will provide an aesthetic improvement without aging your features.

Internal Incision

Under local anesthesia (similar to that used by a dentist), a tiny cut of approximately 1 centimeter is made on the inside of each cheek.

Precise Extraction

The fat capsule is located and gently removed. The doctor evaluates how much tissue to remove to achieve a subtle and aesthetic hollow.

Rapid Recovery

Stitches are placed that fall out on their own. After a few days of moderate swelling, you will begin to notice the progressive contouring of your face.

No External Scars

The entire procedure is performed intraorally. No one will know you had surgery because there will be no marks, cuts, or sutures on your skin.

Customized Removable Volume

The entire fat pad is not always removed. The volume is calibrated according to your face type to avoid a gaunt or aged appearance.

Natural Cheekbone Enhancement

By reducing the lower volume of the cheek, the cheekbone (malar bone) automatically stands out due to the play of light and shadow on the face.

Jawline Definition

It indirectly helps the jawline look cleaner and more defined by removing fatty weight from the mid-facial area.

Why choose Dr. Pérez Cerezo

Safe contouring without hollowing

Aunque parece una cirugía sencilla, retirar las bolsas de Bichat requiere un profundo conocimiento de la anatomía facial. El Dr. Pérez Cerezo garantiza un resultado estético sin cruzar la línea hacia un rostro demacrado.

Intelligent Conservative Extraction

The doctor does not remove everything “blindly.” He studies your bone projection to leave exactly the amount of fat that will keep your face looking young over the years.

Prevention of Premature Aging

If poorly executed, this surgery can cause the face to “sag” by age 40. Our technique respects the connective and ligamentous tissue to ensure long-term support.

Zero Visible Scars

Being an intraoral approach, you maintain total privacy. No one needs to know about your procedure; they will only see that your face looks inexplicably slimmer.

Express Recovery (“Lunch-time Surgery”)

You can literally have it done on a Thursday or Friday and be back in your office on Monday. It is a procedure that is very friendly to your work or school schedule.

Experience in Delicate Areas

The mouth is full of nerve endings and salivary ducts. Having surgery with a certified plastic surgeon ensures that these vital structures remain intact.

Postoperative Support

We provide you with an exact protocol for using cold compresses, a chin strap (if required), and medications to reduce inflammation as quickly as possible and see your final result.
