Article Abstract
Objective: To compare the symmetry of bilateral buccal fat pad(BFP) volumes in patients with prominent zygomatic bones before surgery.
Methods: Fifty cosmetic female patients were selected and scanned using computed tomography. Based on the symmetry of the patients' zygomatic bones prior to surgery, they were divided into the Sym group and the Asym group. The buccal extension of buccal fat pads on both sides were delineated and reconstructed layer by layer using the draw function of MIMICS 26.0, and their volumes were calculated. The Volume Asymmetry Index (VAI) was compared between the Sym group and the Asym group using a t-test. For patients in the Asym group, a paired t-test was used to compare the volumes of the buccal fat pads on the larger (L) and the contralateral side (S).
Results: The VAI in the Sym group was smaller than that in the Asym group (15.3%±4.8% vs 21.7%±6.1, p=0.02). For the Asym group, the volume of the buccal extension of buccal fat pad on the S side was smaller than that on the L side (S) (1.31ml vs 1.66ml p= 0.01).
Conclusion: For patients undergoing zygomatic reduction surgery, the symmetry of the buccal fat pads prior to surgery should be emphasized, and measures should be taken to adjust the volume symmetry of the buccal fat pads in patients with asymmetric prominent zygomatic bones.

Objective: Improving the effectiveness of primary surgery of uranoplasty and re-reconstruction of the palate in patients with cleft palate through the use of an axial flap of the fat body of the cheek.
Material And Methods: In the period from 2023-2024, 41 patients with cleft palate aged from 1 to 19 years were operated on. Of these, 28 people had a flap of the cheek fat body used in risk groups during primary uranoplasty (group 1) and in 13 patients to eliminate postoperative palate defects of various localization and extent (group 2).

The buccal fat pad (BFP), pharyngeal adipose corpus (PAC), and orbital fat are deep fatty compartments of the face that are often considered as non-mobilized fat and are excluded from lipid metabolism. There is considerable clinical inter-individual variability in BFP volume. The PAC volume, which is influenced by weight gain, may be involved in obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome.

Objectives: An oroantral fistula (OAF) is an abnormal connection between the oral cavity and the maxillary sinus. The buccal fat pad (BFP) has been used as a pedicle graft for the repair of oral cavity defects, including OAF defects. In the present study, we evaluated the effectiveness of the BFP technique for closing OAFs resulting from dental implant removal.

Background: The buccal fat pad has gained attention because of its anatomical characteristics and functions; however, its morphology and relationship with surrounding tissues have been inconsistently described. This study aimed to reassess the anatomical morphology of the buccal fat pad.
Methods: Twelve human cadavers donated to Keio University School of Medicine were used during this study.
