Benefits of Buccal Fat Removal in Oxnard
Designed Definition
Our experienced providers at Younique can remove buccal fat to give you a slimmer face and define your natural cheekbones.
Synergy in Treatment
We can pair your buccal fat removal with a number of complementary procedures. Ask your provider what other treatments may pair well.
Feminizing Facial Contouring
Buccal fat removal in Oxnard can help create a more feminized look. Our providers will modify their approach based on your unique goals.
Consultation
First, you will meet for a private consultation with your Younique provider. At this appointment, you will discuss your goals for seeking treatment, your medical history, and the particular concerns you’re looking to address.
If, after talking to your provider, you decide that buccal fat removal in Oxnard is the right fit for you, our staff will help get you scheduled.
Procedure
First, your surgeon will mark the target area. Second, they will administer anesthesia (general or local) for your comfort during the procedure. Third, your surgeon will begin by making an incision on the inside of your cheek.
The fourth and final step requires your surgeon to use a suction device, allowing for them to remove the desired buccal fat. When the procedure is finished, you’ll be able to head home to recover.
Recovery
If we use local anesthesia, then you’ll be able to leave on your own. You may choose to get general anesthesia for your procedure—if this is the case, then you will need to have a ride home.
Some patients have reported mild soreness and swelling in the treated area. This is normal and typically takes a few days to subside, with full recovery taking between 2 and 4 weeks.
You may notice your cheeks looking leaner and more defined after about 2 months.

The path for your Younique journey begins with this first step.
Am I a good candidate for buccal fat removal?
The best way to know if you’re an ideal candidate for buccal fat removal in Oxnard is by speaking with a Younique provider in a consultation. If you’re looking to slim your face, want more definition in your cheeks, or are looking for feminization surgery, then buccal fat removal may be right for you.
We’ll discuss candidacy during your consultation. However, some conditions may prevent you from being able to undergo the procedure, including if you:
- Smoke regularly
- Have naturally slim facial features
- Have progressive hemifacial atrophy
- Are advanced in age
What will the surgeon need before my buccal fat removal procedure?
Your Younique provider will require a bit of information about yourself before treatment. Having all of the following prepared before your initial consultation will lead to a more streamlined process:
- Your full medical history, including any allergies you may have.
- If you’re experiencing any current medical conditions.
- What exactly your expectations are for treatment.
- A list of any current medications or prescribed supplements.
Being truthful with your provider is crucial to the success of your buccal fat removal in Oxnard.
Is buccal fat removal a painful surgery?
Because of the administration of local or general anesthesia, you should not feel any pain during your surgery. We’ll determine the type of anesthesia to use during your consultation, so you can arrange transportation home if need be.
Your provider can prescribe medications to manage post-operative pain and discomfort. You can expect to experience some minor swelling and soreness in the treatment area throughout your recovery.
