What Is Buccal Fat Removal? - Dr. John Mesa, MD

Most people think buccal fat removal goes wrong when a surgeon removes too much.After sixteen years of performing this procedure, here is what I know.An unpleasant result does not happen because of the amount removed. It happens when the procedure is performed on the wrong candidate.The amount of fat I remove is determined entirely by the patient's unique anatomy and specific aesthetic goals. A fashion model and a Wall Street professional will have very different treatment plans — and both can achieve a refined, natural result.In this video, I explain exactly what buccal fat removal is, how the procedure works, and why patient selection determines the outcome.

Why do some men still look round-faced despite regular workout routines?

The secret isn't what you're thinking - it's simpler yet overlooked.

Watch Dr. Mesa explain in 60 seconds. Are you focusing on the wrong thing?

Almost everybody thinks a facelift means going to sleep under general anesthesia.

But what most people are never told is that a full facelift can be performed under local anesthesia.

Watch Dr. Mesa explain it in 60 seconds.

Question: Do you want to keep assuming you have to go to sleep for a facelift, or finally learn your options?

02/22/2026

Most people think a facelift means looking pulled or looking like a different person.

That is not what a real facelift is supposed to do.

Watch Dr. Mesa explain what a facelift actually is in 60 seconds.

Question: Do you want to keep watching your face change every year, or finally do something about it?

She was in her late 50s, but her face was aging faster than she felt.

She told me she felt like she was in her 40s, and she wanted the mirror to match that. She wanted to look like herself again, just more refreshed.

After a facelift under local anesthesia, here she is at 3 months:
• refreshed, not “pulled”
• smoother jawline and neck
• more rested, rejuvenated look

Question: Do you want your face to keep telling the wrong story about your age, or would you rather look how you feel?

Most surgeons perform chin liposuction, which focuses just underneath the chin.

But I, Dr. Mesa, perform extended chin liposuction, and it is different.

In this 60-second video, I explain what the difference is, and why it matters if your goal is real jawline definition.

Question: Do you want to keep settling for “some improvement,” or finally understand what actually creates a defined jawline?

02/21/2026

Chin liposuction and extended chin liposuction are not the same procedure.

Most people have no idea what “extended” actually means, and that one word can completely change the level of jawline definition you can get.

Watch Dr. Mesa break it down in 60 seconds.

Question: Do you want to keep settling for “some improvement,” or finally get the jawline definition you are actually trying to achieve?

Double chin can make a fit man look overweight, even with great diet and exercise.

This patient is in his mid-30s. Before, he had a double chin and limited jawline and neck angle definition, even though he was very fit.

After extended chin liposuction with skin tightening:
• double chin reduced
• sharper jawline definition
• cleaner neck angle

Question: Do you want your profile to keep a heavier look, or would you rather look sharper and more defined?

Results vary. A consultation is needed t

A male patient asked me a question online that I see all the time:

Buccal fat removal or masseter Botox for a chubby face?

Watch Dr. Mesa answer it in 60 seconds, and the one mistake men make when they choose the wrong option.

Question: If you had to pick one, would you rather slim the cheeks or slim the jaw?

Buccal fat removal can make you look older if it is done on the wrong patient, or if too much is removed.

Watch Dr. Mesa explain it in 60 seconds, including how I evaluate candidacy so the goal stays natural, not hollow.
