is a surgical procedure that removes the buccal fat pads \u2014 natural fat deposits located in the lower cheeks between the cheekbone and jawline. Removing some of this fat creates a more contoured, angular, &#8220;V-shaped&#8221; facial profile by revealing the cheekbone and jawline structure that fullness in this area can otherwise obscure. Because incisions are made entirely inside the mouth, there&#8217;s no visible external scarring.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Results_of_Buccal_Fat_Removal\"><\/span><span
