Buccal Fat Removal + Scar Tissue Q&A

I had Buccal Fat removal surgery in February 2024 & was experiencing persistent swelling on my left side from the get go. I had multiple appointments with the surgeon & he explained that I was having some scar tissue forming & I should massage for 10 minutes daily and by 6 months I should see improvements. Its been 8 months now & im still feeling tenderness in that area & it looks puffy compared to the other contoured side.

I am 3 months post op today. I still have lumps on the inside of my mouth. No pain. No bleeding. One lump is bigger than the other. Should I be worried? Is this scar tissue? Should I wait a month before getting steroid injections?

I had buccal fat removal and I didn't get any noticeable difference at all. It's been one year already. I can feel lumps in the area where the incision is and the far was removed. Is it possible that scar tissue has replaced my buccal fat and is the reason I didn't receive slimming effects from the procedure? How can I address this? Steroid injections?

I got my buccal fat pad done 2 weeks ago & my right cheek is very slim almost no swelling, but my left cheek is still very swollen & it has a hard lump, I was told to massage the lump to make it go away, will the lump go away? Im afraid its scar tissue & my face will stay like this

Hello, its been 11 days since i've had my buccal fat pads and some scar tissue removed from my cheeks from a prior mini-lift. I feel the scar tissue in my cheeks beginning to form and get hard. 

I am very concerned about the results of my buccal fat removal. Two weeks ago I had them removed along with Rhinoplasty. Immediately after surgery the left cheek was VERY swollen with dark bruising. It subsided day to day but no there is a lump which feels quite sore where the buccal fat would be usually. The bruising is still bad on my lower jaw area. My cheeks are now asymmetrical. My doctor injected hormones to speed up process he said this could possibly be scar tissue.

I got a buccal fat removal a year in a half ago , and I have lumpiness from scar tissue that can be felt inside mouth on ride side of inner cheek , I also noticed that my right side of face is more puffy , but left side is good and has no scar tissue , can scar tissue have replaced the buccal fat causing swelling on right side ?
