Buccal fat pad lump? - 2 weeks post-op.

Swelling is typical after buccal fat removal and can be asymmetrical. The swelling is typically moderate and will slowly resolve over a few weeks. If you have questions about after care, I suggest following up with your Doctor. I hope this helps. 

Swelling after buccal fat removal could happen either in both cheeks or one cheek only. The duration of the swelling depends on the healing ability of the patient's body. Most of the patients heal fast but others heal slow.
Patients with questions and concerns about their buccal fat removal healing process should adhere to the recommendations of the surgeon that performed the operation. 

Buccal fat surgery is a good option for those who want to reduce cheek fat. Swelling is typically minimal for many patients. However, swelling can be more pronounced in any plastic surgery patient. In addition, swelling may be asymmetric. Most swelling resolves within the first few weeks after surgery. Patients should continue close communication with their plastic surgeon and follow their guidance.Best,Dr. Chaboki
