Can a Buccal Fat Removal & Cheek Filler Be Done at Once?

thickthickthick
I want to enhance my cheekbones, with Radiesse fillers, before switching to implants. I also want my face to look a bit thinner with moderate buccal fat removal. Can these 2 procedures take place at the same time or should I just do the fillers? I'll also be getting fat injection in the middle of my bottom lip which goes in like a dent.
