Prologue

Buccal fat is a fat pad located deeper than the masticatory muscles.
With aging and gravity it sags downward, forming what is often called jowls or a bulldog line. Excess buccal fat can also make you look older than you are and give a sullen impression. Removing the buccal fat directly can slim the facial line and create a more youthful impression.
