Caner Kacmaz, MD · Answer

The buccal fat removal procedure usually takes 1 to 2 hours. Typically, it takes 7 to 10 days for the tissues inside the mouth to recover. Our patients recover completely after 4 to 6 weeks. Thank you and have a great day.

Omar Lazos, MD · Answer

Usually 12 weeks is the average time to be considered healed from buccal fat pad removal. I highly suggest you contact your PS with your concern as to what exactly you're feeling so they can give you a more accurate consultation and suggestions to deal with your concern.
