I'm interested in having buccal fat removal and a rhinoplasty in the future. I was planning on having a rhinoplasty first, but do you recommend having buccal fat removal before or after a rhinoplasty to get the best results?

Answer: Evaluation for reduction of buccal fat can be accomplished before rhinoplasty so that both procedures can be done at one time. These operations can easily be done at one time. Video imaging can give you some idea what to expect if one or both operations are done. If you choose to stagger them the buccal fat pad reduction can be done with local anesthesia.

Answer: Buccal fat removal and rhinoplasty You can have both procedures performed safely at the same time - by doing this, you only undergo one anesthesia time and one recovery time. Both procedures complement each other and you should have great results. If you would rather split up the procedures, it does not matter what you do first as far as final results. Best of luck and hope this information helps!- Dr. Roger Tsai
