Buccal fat excision is a fairly quick procedure. To allow time for preparation and anesthesia, the whole procedure takes approximately one hour. The recovery time after buccal fat excision is rather quick. After the procedure, you will have a few stitches from the small incisions made on the inside of the mouth. You will need to eat a soft diet for 3 to 4 days. There will be some swelling present in the face after the surgery. The swelling is typically moderate and will slowly resolve over a few weeks. I hope this helps!
Buccal fat removal when performed under local anesthesia takes under 10 minutes to be performed.The procedure itself takes about 10 minutes, but the surgeon should allow the local anesthesia to work for at least 10 to 15 min before performing the procedure to make sure the numbing medication has full effect.
Yes it is a very quick procedure, and can be performed within a few minutes on each side. The incision is very small, less than a centimeter, and inside the mouth so it will be hidden.A consultation in person is the best way to proceed. Best of luck and hope this information helps!- Dr. Roger Tsai@DrRogerTsai
