Answer: Buffalo Fat Removal Thank you for your question gavz. Swelling following surgery is normal and expected. The swelling should gradually improve over the weeks following your procedure. The lump you are describing is slightly concerning and I recommend you seek a consultation from a plastic surgeon to have this evaluated. Hope this helps.

Answer: Swelling after buccal fat pad reduction Great question! It certainly can happen that one side swells a little more than another after surgery. It can do with your anatomy, how difficult it was to identify the buccal fat pad, etc. I would discuss this with your operating doc as they will have a better idea as to what could be the reason for your swelling and give you a timeline towards recovery. You are only 3 weeks out, so there is still plenty of time to heal, don't worry! Congratulations on your procedure, by the way!

Answer: Swelling after Buccal Fat Removal There will be some swelling present in the face after the surgery. The swelling is typically moderate and will slowly resolve over a few weeks. However, because you feel a lump, I recommend following up with your surgeon.
