Want a naturally slimmer face? Dr. Yily De Los Santos shares why buccal fat removal is changing the game

 

Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic – Today, more people are looking for beauty that feels real. No extreme changes, no filters—just subtle improvements that bring out their best features. That’s why buccal fat removal is becoming one of the most requested procedures at the clinic of Dr. Yily De Los Santos, a top aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon in the Dominican Republic.

“Most of my patients don’t want to look like someone else—they just want a more defined face, to feel a bit more confident in their own skin. Buccal fat removal is perfect for that. It’s quick, safe, and the results are incredibly natural,” says Dr. Yily.

A subtle change, a big confidence boost

Buccal fat removal takes around 15–30 minutes, done under local anesthesia, and recovery is smooth. You start seeing changes in the first few weeks, and the final result becomes more noticeable over time.

“What I love most is watching how their expression changes after the procedure—not just their face, but their self-esteem. They smile differently. They walk differently. That’s the real transformation,” she adds.

Is it right for everyone?

Not necessarily. And that’s where ethics come first. Dr. Yily is known for her honest and thoughtful approach:

“Not everyone needs this surgery. If someone comes in asking for it, I always do a detailed evaluation. If I see it’s not the best option, I’ll tell them. My goal is not to follow trends—it’s to guide each person to what’s truly best for them.”
