What is buccal fat pad removal?
Buccal fat pad removal is a surgery to get slimmer cheeks and a more defined face by removing the fat pads inside the cheeks. It’s sometimes referred to as “face liposuction,” though it’s technically a distinct procedure — a small 3–5mm incision is made inside the mouth, the buccal fat pad is identified, and it’s gradually removed.

V-shaping of the face
V-shaping is a popular combination approach, aiming to give the face a more youthful, defined appearance by reducing a square face to a V shape. It’s achieved through a combination of procedures:
Fillers
For chin and jawline definition.
Double chin liposuction
Removes fat under the chin for a sharper jaw contour.
Buccal fat pad removal
Reduces cheek fullness for a slimmer overall face shape.
V-shaping face treatment cost in Pakistan ranges from PKR 45,000–95,000 depending on the treatment modality used.
The procedure
Performed under local anaesthesia, numbing only the inner side of the cheeks. The procedure takes around 30 minutes, with no hospital stay required afterward. Most patients can resume daily routine work after 48 hours.
Side effects
Buccal fat removal is generally a safe procedure in the hands of a qualified plastic surgeon. Possible side effects include facial swelling for a few days, bruising, and rare risks of parotid duct injury or facial nerve branch injury — which is why choosing your surgeon carefully matters for this procedure.
Often combined with
- Double chin or jawline liposuction, for a defined V-shape jaw
- Masseter reduction with injection, for a smaller appearance to a wide face
Why patients choose this surgeon
- Is this actually safe given the nerve risk mentioned?
- Facial nerve and parotid duct injury are named explicitly as rare risks specific to this procedure — meticulous technique from an experienced plastic surgeon is what avoids them, not a generic safety claim.
- Am I overpaying, or is this good value?
- PKR 45,000–75,000 here versus $1,000–3,000 internationally.
- Will this actually give me the V-shape I want alone?
- V-shaping is explained honestly as a combination of 3 procedures, not oversold as a single treatment.
