Is it okay to get chin filler before buccal fat removal surgery?

Question

Just as the title says, I am wondering if it is safe/okay to get chin filler before going into my buccal fat removal surgery. Thank you!

Absolutely. Chin filler will not be a problem before or after Buccal fat removal procedure. It might actually enhance your appearance as well.

Dear Adinh this is a great question.

Getting fillers in the perioral area prior to buccal or dental work may lead to infection of the area. I would advise waiting at least two weeks between procedures.

Yes, it is okay to get chin filler after buccal fat removal surgery. The augmentation of the chin with filler does not affect the results of the buccal fat removal procedure. In fact, it can enhance the appearance of your face. By removing the chubbiness and projecting your chin, you will achieve a better overall look.
I hope this helps!
