title: Managing the buccal fat pad.
abstract: The author performs buccal fat pad excision to improve facial contour in some patients with buccal lipodystrophy and to treat buccal fat pad pseudoherniation. He recommends an intraoral approach, taking care not to pull on the fat pad and resecting only that which protrudes easily with gentle pressure.
