Is it okay to do buccal fat removal on the same day as Ulthera treatment of the lower face and neck?

Question

Edward J. Gross, MD · Answer

Yes, Buccal Fat Removal and Ultherapy can be performed on the same day, but be prepared for some swelling in the cheeks and mouth area. This may cause temporary smile weakness, so give yourself a few weeks before taking new 'selfies'.

John Mesa, MD · Answer

In my practice, patients may undergo buccal fat pad removal/excision at the same time of other cosmetic surgery procures (eg. Ulthera, eyelid surgery, etc)Combining multiple plastic surgery procedures could benefit the patients by saving time of work ( one recovery rather than multiple ones). However, combining multiple cosmetic procedures may cause increased post surgical /post procedure swelling and therefore the length of the recovery.
