In summary I am glad that I had my Buccal ft removal BUT the recovery is a lot harder than I expected.
The pain after the surgery was ok. I didn’t take any pain killer . And I took a medicine that help with my swelling for the first 5 days (unfortunately, I forgot to take a pic of that )
And I had swollen face for the first 3 days . It is definitely visible as I went back to work on the third days and all my colleague asked what had happened to my face. I told them the truth :)
I had biodegradable stitches . It started to degrade after 2 weeks .
I was on liquid diet for 2 weeks and no excessive for 2 weeks .
I have my face wrapped for a week to reduce the swelling .
On the third week I started eating but it wasn’t comfortable because I have bumpy mucosa at the incision areas. I really do not like the the bumps .

I still have bumpy mucosa on my incision .
Dr. Told me that this is normal and it will subside after 3 months .
The thing that really annoy me is That i have two “white ulcer” only right cheek (see picture).
I notice that when I chew more the “white-ulcer” get bigger . Because of that I hardly feel like eating .
The good thing is that I notice that I have a “dimple” on my left cheek. Dr. Told me that he had to take longer time to take out by ft on my right side. Hence , the “dimple” will show late.
I guess I just have to be patient .

Does anyone one of u have similar New “white ulcer” at the incision site? This really bothers and I am a bit worry about it :I

I can still feel the lump but it is very minor .
As for the outside, I can see minor changes on my left cheek , which I have a dimple now. As for the left side I don’t seeing different .
Anyway, I have no regrets doing this.
The recovery is harder than I expected due to the lumpy incisions.

I still can feel bumpy mucosa on my incision side . I can tell it is getting smaller but up to this point I am not sure if they will go down further . I might need steroid injection to reduce the scar tissue .
The changes was not profound but I know there is a fine line , if too much fat is removed . My face all look saggy. So I will prefer this way.
