Answer: After buccal fat surgery, can you drive? = it depends on how your surgeon perform your buccal fat removal The ability for somebody to drive by him/her self after buccal fat removal depends on how the surgery is performed by the surgeon. In my practice, I do most of my patients under strict pure local anesthesia. My patients do not receive any narcotics nor any kind of sedation. Therefore, my patients can drive themselves back home similar.If patients are given any narcotics, sedatives ( like benzodiazepines) or other medications different to pure local anesthetic or tylenol, they are not allowed to drive by themselves and somebody (a family or friend) must drive them back home for safety.Therefore, asl yours surgeon if it is safe to drive by yourself back home after buccal fat removal.
