Patients with questions and concern about their buccal fat removal recovery vs dental work should contact the plastic surgeon that performed the procedure to address that concern to determine when OK to undergo dental work

Raymond E. Lee, MD · Answer

Good question. I feel you should wait at least 3 weeks giving time for the incision to heal and be able to safely open your mouth. There are small incision in the cheek lining opposite the molars.  The dentist may use mouth retractors and by then it will be safe to do so.
