How long does it take for Buccal Fat Pad removal to show results?

Question

Got it a few hours ago. Took off the wrap for a minute. No swelling nor bruising, but my face looks the same. Just wondering when changes will exactly show?

John Mesa, MD · Answer

The results of a buccal fat pad removal plastic surgery procedure may take several weeks to show.After a buccal fat pad, usually the face (cheeks) swell up to the point that the face looks more cheeky than before the surgery. The reason is that the soft tissue of the cheeks (mucosa, muscle, non-buccal fat pad, etc) swell up because of the surgery. The final results of a buccal fat pad removal/excision could be seen 2 to 3 months post procedure, once the healing process has occurred
