Abstract

The buccal fat pad (BFP) is located anterior to the masseter muscle and deep to the buccinator muscle. It is a specialized fat tissue in human body. The buccal fat pad flap is an axial flap and may be used to fill small-to-medium sized soft tissue and bony defects in the palate, superior and inferior alveoli and buccal mucosa. The presence of buccal fat pad is somewhere advantageous during oral and maxillofacial procedures, in patients of the third age; I recommend the removal of the buccal pads prior to schedule a surgery of facial aging to avoid the appearance of "weight gain" and the facial flaccidity, as a result of surgery.

Keywords: Buccal fat pad; Facial flaccidity; Facelifting; Zygomatic ligaments; Platysma
