Commentary on: The Excision of the Buccal Fat Pad for Cheek Refinement: Volumetric Considerations

The authors have presented a study of 22 patients who requested buccal lipectomy, within whom they studied the anatomy and volume of the buccal fat pad (BFP) by means of transbuccal ultrasound.¹ Thirteen of the patients were subsequently deemed "suitable" for surgery and underwent excision of the BFP. The author's conclusions are based on these findings.
