Can buccal fat removal and jaw implant surgery be performed at the same time?

Question

I wanted a better jawline along with a slimmer face, is it possible to get the two procedures done together?

Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS · Answer

Yes, these procedures are both performed from an intraoral incision and can be performed simultaneously. I recommend the use of custom implants for the jawline. These are made from a CT of the mandible. The procedures are performed in the office with sedation anesthesia.

Jacob Tower, MD · Answer

Hello, hope you are well. Yes, you can undergo buccal fat removal and jaw implant surgery concurrently. Normally I recommend staging the surgery (implants first followed by buccal fat), but from a technical perspective these surgeries can be done together. 
Best,Dr. Tower
