Buccal fat pad removal after masseter Botox injections?

Question

Is it safe to get buccal fat pad removal 1 week after having masseter botox injections? Will the botox injections negatively affect the procedure if it is done under local anaesthetic?

Ali Riza Öreroglu, MD · Answer

Having Masseter Botox 1 week before a buccal fat removal procedure should not affect the procedure. It will be best to consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.

Hope this helps,

Hello, thank you for your question. You will likely get varying opinions on this, I think you should wait a minimum of 6 weeks.  It just make common sense to separate these two treatments.
