I am 3 days post-op and want to know when my sutures will dissolve?
Answer: Buccal Fat Removal for Facial Sculpting Treatment of ‘chubby cheeks’ cannot be achieved alone with buccal fat pad removal; a fact that I encounter time and time again when seeing patients in consultation for lower facial sculpting. My approach is to use a combined protocol that redefines aesthetic contours of the face. This includes the following:

Answer: Approximately how long does it take for sutures to dissolve after buccal fat removal? = it depends on the type of sutures The time that it takes for the sutures to be removed after buccal fat removal depends on the type of suture used by the surgeon. In my practice I use vicryl sutures to close the intra-oral buccal fat removal incisions. These sutures take about 2 weeks to dissolve. I like to use these sutures because they are soft and cause no trauma to the surrounding intra-oral tissue.Other surgeons may use Chromic suture. This suture material tend to dissolve faster than vicryl. However, I don't like to use it because it is rigid, thus causing discomfort to the patient and potentially causing trauma to the surrounding tissue with its sharp hard edges.
