Summary

Buccal Fat Pad provides volume to the middle third of the face and occasionally may cause deepening of the nasolabial fold and relaxation of the mimetic muscles, both associated with aging. Bichectomy is the surgical procedure in which the buccal fat pad is remove in order to achieve a youthful and aesthetic appearance, getting harmony in facial contour.
