Are your cheeks being too “puffy”? Buccal fat pad removal will make your face slender and your cheekbones more prominent.
Description
A relatively simple procedure, the operation is usually performed under local anaesthesia and takes app. 45-60 minutes. The patient must consult the physician and undergo a prior pre-operative examination.
The surgeon makes an incision in the oral cavity, removes any excess fat, and stitches small wounds, using dissolving stitches. There are no visible scars on the patient’s face because the incision is made inside the cheeks. It’s necessary to maintain impeccable oral hygiene after the operation.
Postoperative recovery
- Week 1: Rest and cold compressions. After 3 days you can go back to work.
- Week 2, 3: Little swelling not noticeable.
- Week 4: Final result and check-up.
