Answer: No results yet from Buccal Fat Removal! It's been 2 weeks? = chilax! #buccalfatpadremoval #swelling #recovery
Thank you for asking about your buccal fat reduction.Your photo does not suggest that you have much buccal fat to remove.This is common in very thin people.Eating popsicles frequently will reduce the fat in some people but it returns.

Yes, Buccal Fat Removal and Ultherapy can be performed on the same day, but be prepared for some swelling in the cheeks and mouth area. This may cause temporary smile weakness, so give yourself a few weeks before taking new 'selfies'.
Thank you for asking about your buccal fat removal.You start swelling during surgery and the swelling obscures your results.There are exceptions but it will often take 2 weeks to see any results, 6 weeks to see an approximate final result and 6 months to see your final result.
