How long would you advise your patient to wait after having a rhinoplasty to undergo a buccal fat removal? I will not be having buccal fat removal done at the same time as my rhinoplasty so I will have to have my buccal fat removal after. The buccal fat removal will be done under Local anaesthesia, is it okay to have it done a month after my rhinoplasty? Or any earlier? Thank you

Answer: Buccal Fat Removal after Rhinoplasty Thank you for asking! I believe you’re safe medically to have the procedure a month after rhinoplasty. I encourage you to share your plans with your rhinoplasty surgeon as well. I have commonly performed both procedures during one surgery, helping my patient avoid multiple recovery periods as well as anesthesia twice. Local anesthesia is a nice option for this procedure as well.

Answer: Buccal fat pad reduction and rhinoplasty Yes, both surgeries can be done at the same time considering that buccal fat pad is a minor surgery and it does not add significant time as far as general anesthesia. The recovery is fairly easy for the latter and a can be done at the same time or in a few weeks following rhinoplasty when patient is settled.

Answer: Buccal fat procedure after rhinoplasty Buccal fat reduction can be performed under local anesthesia or IV or general anesthesia. Ideally it would be performed at the same time as rhinoplasty but if you are preferring another surgeon 1 month after your rhino should be fine to do it but both surgeons should know and will ultimately make the final decision.
