Question

I have dark spots under my buccal fat removal and dark "shadow" area where the buccal fat was done. What causes these dark spots? When will they go away? Is there anything I can do to make them go away? Do these dark "shadow" area on my cheeks go away?

Dear Serran227,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

Patients with questions and concerns about their neck lift and buccal fat removal healing process should address those concerns with the surgeon that performed the operation, ideally during a follow up consultation.
