Fibrosis after buccal fat removal?

Question

I had surgery about 1 year ago, but there is swelling and stiffness in the middle parts of my face. My doctor did 2 incisions on the left side and I have more swelling on that part. I don’t know how to fix it please help.

Hello, hope you are well. Thanks for posting your questions about the issues you are having after buccal fat removal. The best thing to do would be to return to your surgeon for examination of the area. It sounds like you may have formed scar tissue within the cheek, but it would be difficult to assess without inspecting and palpating the areas of concern. If that's the case, scar massage would be the easiest way to begin managing it. Other options may be available, but not without a better grasp of the source of the problem. 
Best,Dr. Tower
