I'm 24 hour post op buccalectomy. I'm not in any pain to my surprise, just very mild tenderness when touched and some mild swelling. I can eat, open my mouth, smile etc... I noticed my left cheek is slight bigger than my right. I'm currently on medrol and antibiotics to prevent infection and swelling.
