Revision Buccal Pad Removal, Is This A Normal Procedure?

September 2, 2011
Asked By:6729 in Atlanta, GA

About 2.5 months ago I had zygoma and jaw reduction in Korea. Part of the surgery was buccal fat removal. I asked the doctor to do it conservatively. Now my cheeks look puffy and I keep biting inside my cheek.Can the doctor control how much fat is removed? Are revisions normal?.I have a big event in a month, and a local doctor (to which I did not tell the Korea story) just looking at me the first thing he suggested is the buccal fat removal. I have scheduled the procedure 2 weeks b4 my event.
