Buccal fat excision under local anesthesia

Dear Cheeka, Buccal fat removal can be done under local anesthesia quite easily.  In fact, I just performed one last week and the patient was back to work the next day.  Basically, we numb the inside of your mouth, and through a 1/4 inch incision, we remove some the fat in buccal / inside cheek areas.  The whole procedure takes about an hour and once the area is numbed, the procedure is painless.  For more info you can contact our office in Los Angeles.  Hope... more
