Is there a non-surgical, permanent way of jaw reduction/ buccal fat removal?

Doctor's Answers 2

There are non-surgical methods of jaw reduction or buccal fat reduction.

Botox or Dysport injection of your masseters can reduce the size of your masseters to enhance your jawline and give you a slimmer and more V-shaped jawline. However, the effect of the injection lasts about 4-6 months and have to be repeated every 6 months when the effect of the Botox or Dysport wears out.

Buccal fat can be reduced with UltracelQ+ HIFU which has the latest Linear Firm and DOT hand piece to effectively perform excess fat reduction around your buccal and jawline area together with skin tightening all in the same setting to give you a slim and contoured lower face and jawline. Generally 3 treatments performed one month apart is adequate.

Botox/ Dysport injections can be combined with HIFU Ultracel Q+ especially if you have prominent masseters and buccal fat, for enhanced slim V face appearance.

For the most appropriate treatments yielding best results, I would advise you to have a face to face consultation for an accurate assessment of your facial structure and discussion of your treatment plan.

How effective is buccal fat removal in treating bruxism? (photo)

There is ZERO evidence that removal of buccal fat will cure or treat bruxism. At the moment, there is no cure for bruxism as it can be due to a deep-seated neurological program in the brain. All forms of therapy for bruxism (splints/bite guards, Botox, sleep apnoea management) only manage the peripheral effects such as destruction of teeth and restorations and pain. These treatments aim to limit irreversible damage to the teeth and restorations but will not cure or reduce the frequency at which a patient will brux.

What are effective treatments to remove fat under the chin? (photo)

Thank you for your question and sharing your photo. There are many options for removing fat and sculpting the chin. They include facial massage, injections to dissolve fat, cryolipolysis, and liposuction. Some methods are effective whilst others may not be. Cryolipolysis is a method of fat removal by freezing of the fat cells using the application of a handpiece to cool the tissue to sub-zero temperatures (between -11 to +5 °C). This is a non-invasive technique that allows localised reduction of fat deposits. One or more sessions may be required to get the desired outcomes.
