Persistent localized fat deposits that are resistant to conventional diet and exercise regimens often require a medical solution. At GLOJAS Aesthetic Clinic in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, we offer evidence-based liposuction procedures performed by board-certified plastic surgeons in a Ministry of Health (KKM)-licensed facility.
Buccal fat removal is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to reduce fullness in the lower cheeks by excising the buccal fat pads. The treatment is indicated for individuals seeking improved facial contour and definition, particularly those with a round or full facial appearance despite a healthy body weight.
At Glojas Specialist Clinic, buccal fat removal is performed by experienced, board-certified aesthetic and plastic surgeons using advanced techniques in a sterile, Ministry of Health (MOH)-registered facility. The objective is to achieve subtle, natural-looking enhancement of the mid and lower facial structure while prioritizing patient safety and long-term results.
