Buccal Fat Removal: Slimmer Cheeks in Under an Hour, No Downtime

Some faces stay round no matter how lean the body gets. The cause is often the buccal fat pad, a pocket of fat in the lower cheek that diet does not reach. Removing it is one of the shortest procedures at Juneis, and one of the few with no downtime.

What it is for

Remove the fat that makes the cheeks look chubby.

What happens in the procedure

A small incision is made inside the mouth and the buccal fat pad is removed. There is no external scar.

How long it takes

30 minutes to 1 hour.

Downtime

None.

After the procedure

• No hot drinks for one day after the procedure.

Who it suits

Clients whose lower cheeks look full or round regardless of weight, and those building a V-line with cheek and chin liposuction.

Why clients choose Juneis for this

Juneis is a clinic in Seoul, and the way this procedure is done follows what Korean aesthetic surgery is known for: ultrasound and vibration cannulas for fat, work on the SMAS layer for the face, supermicro processing before a fat transfer, and RF sessions built into the recovery schedule. The check-up dates and garment rules above come from the clinic's own protocol for this procedure.

The specialist who plans your case is the one who performs it and sees you at every check-up. Your consultation, your procedure and your records stay between you and that medical team. Many of the clinic's international clients, including from Indonesia, come for exactly that reason.

Before you decide

Every procedure starts with a consultation, in person or remote, where the surgeon confirms whether you are a candidate and sets the plan. Read how to prepare before plastic surgery and what to do after, then contact the clinic on WhatsApp at +62 812-2790-7386 or through the contact page.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a visible scar?

No. The incision is inside the mouth.

Why no hot drinks?

Heat on a fresh intraoral incision in the first 24 hours can irritate it. One day of warm-not-hot drinks is the only restriction.

Is it part of the V-shape package?

Yes. Buccal fat removal is one of the three steps in the Juneis V-shape procedure, with cheek and double-chin liposuction.

Will my face look hollow later?

The surgeon removes a measured amount, matched to your face, at consultation. There is no fixed volume; the amount is decided for each face.
