什么是口腔脂肪?

Buccal Fat (pronounced “buh-kl”) is the naturally-occurring fat found between the cheekbones and jaw bones that gives shape to this area of the face. Everyone has buccal fat but the amount and appearance can vary from person to person. 

什么是口腔脂肪去除术?

口腔脂肪去除术 is an in-office surgical procedure that involves the creation of a small incision in the cheek, 就在咬痕上, 露出颊脂肪垫.然后，外科医生会按压患者的脸颊，把脂肪挤出来, 使用镊子进一步暴露更多的垫, cut the pad, 重新定位剩余脂肪并缝合切口. 

We usually use local anesthesia and the patient is fully awake for this procedure. They can choose to undergo general anesthesia if they are very nervous or if they are having buccal fat removal done in conjunction with other surgical procedures.

这种手术通常要做哪些手术?

“A fuller face is often caused by a combination of the buccal fat pad and the muscle underneath that needs to be treated. 口腔脂肪去除可以用 肉毒杆菌注射到咬肌 – another area that can cause fullness in the lower part of the face. This does not result in an immediate change because the muscle has to waste away first to achieve slimming.”

口腔脂肪去除是做什么的?

This surgery is a purely cosmetic procedure that is used to slim the appearance of the face and provide a more sculpted and thinner look. Patients often express the desire to reduce their “chubby cheeks” when discussing buccal fat surgery. Some individuals have used this procedure to achieve a more “mature” appearance.

口腔脂肪会导致下颌畸形吗?

随着年龄的增长，口腔脂肪会自然消失. However, this reduction isn’t uniform for every person and some individuals find that their cheeks remain fuller later on in life. 储存在脸颊上的多余脂肪会导致皮肤松弛, the appearance of jowls and wrinkles near the nose and mouth as time goes on.

恢复过程是怎样的? 

对大多数澳洲幸运10正规官网开奖平台来说, recovery takes between 7 and 10 days as the tissue on the inside of the mouth is repaired. We recommend a soft food or liquid diet during this time to minimize the risk of reopening the incisions. 高蛋白饮食有助于恢复. 

口腔脂肪去除是永久性的吗? 

口腔脂肪去除术 is considered a permanent procedure because the fat pads do not grow back after being extracted. 为了在以后的生活中恢复容量，患者可以选择 乳酸注射 或者手术脂肪转移. However, the space that once contained the buccal fat pad closes over time, so the fat will have to be transferred to an area near the original pocket – not the exact location.

“音量很难恢复, so I tend to be on the more conservative side and not so aggressive when it comes to how much buccal fat I remove. 我想让澳洲幸运10正规官网开奖平台看到不同, but I don’t want to potentially give them a problem in the future with their cheeks looking overly-thin.”

– Dr. 米歇尔Sieffert

不用手术就能去除颊脂肪吗?

从技术上讲，不可以，不做手术就不能去除颊脂肪. However, you can reduce the fat underneath the skin with some nonsurgical procedures, while using other aesthetic treatments to highlight surrounding features. 

The following treatments have been used as alternatives to buccal fat surgery for patients looking for a more “sculpted” look for their cheeks:

睡眠:皮肤紧绷 

睡眠(或射频皮肤收紧) involves the use of fine surgical pins at various depths to create a controlled injury in the cheek. The radiofrequency waves melt underlying fat while stimulating collagen and elastin formation, 导致更紧的, 看起来更“有型”. 

Fillers 

化妆品填充剂注射 (like chin and jawline filler) can be used to create facial proportions that help balance the unique features of patients who aren’t looking for surgical intervention. 

Kybella可以用来减少颊脂肪吗?

Kybella is often described as a fat-emulsifying injectable that is popularly used under the chin and underarms. 一些供应商使用了 Kybella溶解颊脂肪垫 为了使脸部显瘦和轮廓, but our surgeons advise against this practice because the material can potentially migrate to unwanted areas and damage surrounding nerves.
