Patients with questions and concerns about their buccal fat removal healing process should address those concerns with the surgeon that performed the operation, ideally during a follow up consultation.
Its rare for something like this to happen, but it does happen occasionally depending on the size of the incision and approach. However, what you have to be concerned about is if its not air but rather a small collection of fluid - this could potentially scar the buccal space or carry a risk of infection. I suggest you discuss your concerns with your operating doc as they know exactly what was done during the procedure and what to expect based on how the procedure went. Remember, when in doubt, contact your doc. I hope some of this helps!
Thank you for your question. Every surgeon has their own protocol following buccal fat reduction. I advise my patients to limit their physical activity for the first week following surgery. Best of luck.
Patients in the late 20s may present with chubby cheeks and initial sagging of the face ( beginning of facial aging).Chubby cheeks could be addressed with buccal fat removal. Buccal fat removal is the plastic surgery procedure that removes the buccal fat pads, cause of the chubby cheeks, thus...
Buccal fat removal does remove the fullness of the lower anterior cheeks (chubby cheeks) but does not affect the shape of or size of the lips. Therefore buccal fat removal won't make the lips a bid wider.
