Can buccal fat removal and a lip lift procedure be performed at the same time since both are under a local anesthetic?

November 30, 2018
Asked By:Savannah Moore in Los Angeles, California

I am interested in both a lip lift and buccal fat pad removal in my cheeks. I would prefer to get both done at the same trip to the doctor's office, given that I found a surgeon specializing in both procedures. Is this safe? What are your thoughts? Thank you!
