Buccal Fat Extraction at Erebuni Medical Center

Buccal fat extraction is a facial contouring procedure designed to reduce fullness in the lower cheeks and create a more defined mid-face and jawline. The procedure is performed through a small incision inside the mouth, so there are no visible external scars. It can be done as a standalone treatment or combined with other facial contouring procedures when appropriate.

Who it may be suitable for

Patients with naturally fuller cheeks (“round” or “chubby” lower face)
Those looking for a sharper cheek/jawline contour
Patients with stable weight and realistic expectations
Not recommended for everyone (very slim faces or age-related volume loss may not be ideal). Final suitability is confirmed after consultation.
