Is it okay to have buccal fat removal and CO2 laser done at the same time in order to merge the downtime on my holiday?

September 12, 2019
Asked By:malee6a in Bangkok, TH

I am 26 years old and want to have both of these treatments done. I have one Asian parent and have inherited the chubby chipmunk cheeks. I also have pitted acne scars on my cheeks and forehead (from bad ance in my teens). However, it's hard to get time off work so when I do have a few weeks free on my holidays I was wondering if it is safe to combine both of these treatments in one day? Therefore combining the downtime. Or, would that heighten the risk of infections?

Sagar Patel, MD says:

Yes! You appear to be a good candidate. There are so many celebrities doing this because it is unnoticable even the day of surgery. I can't comment on whether Dove had it done but I would say even after the procedure you might not have as defined a midface as her but certainly buccal fat removal...
