Hi i have had Bucal fat pad removal and the DR. Dit not stitch me. He took the pads out, put in Some gause 10 min. Then let me take iT out and gave me ICE. I see difference i have no mayot swelling but i wonder why he did not stitch me. I did this procedure acros the boarder and i’m now home. Are there more surgeons who prachtis the no stitch metod? I feel he might have chosen this option to minemise swelling in patients. I could eat normally today and had ice cream. No pain and feeling perfect.
