At a plastic surgery clinic in London, buccal fat removal was the third most popular procedure in 2022, behind rhinoplasty and liposuction. The procedure takes about 30 minutes to complete and costs around £4,500. The clinic's founder, plastic surgeon Dr. Yannis Alexandrides, reports that his doctors performed 99 buccal fat procedures between 2020 and 2022, with 67 per cent of clients being women and 33% being men. Many of these clients have been influenced by beauty trends in popular culture and want to achieve a similar contoured look.




While some people may feel that they have a "baby face" as adults and may be good candidates for buccal fat removal, it is important to consider the risks and permanency of the procedure before making a decision.
