No results yet from Buccal Fat Removal! It's been 2 weeks?

Question

No bruising, but the stitches are bothering me slightly. No pain, only if you push down hard where the stitches are but theres no difference!! surgeon took the whole fat pad out and there is no difference...and I'm not swelling :/ i wanted that hollow cheek model look. I'm 23

John Mesa, MD · Answer

Any plastic surgery procedure including buccal fat pad removal is associated swelling (downtime). Therefore results are not seeing right away.In two weeks results from a buccal fat pad removal are very UNLIKELY to be seeing. Swelling after surgery usually takes several weeks to moths to resolve ( see my previous answer).Asking for swelling after a buccal fat pad removal to be resolved after 2 weeks post surgery is like asking to have a Schwarzenegger-like muscular body after going to the gym for just 2 weeks!

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

After a buckle fat excision, swelling can be present for up to three months after the procedure. The presence of the swelling can delay the appearance of the final result. If your surgeon took out the entire buccal fat pad, I ensure that you will see a result. I would recommend that you remain patient at this time and review your before-and-after pictures after three months.Hope this helps
