Hello,
I did the buccal fat pad removal a week ago. I am still sweeling but this isnt what my concern is about. My right cheek was bigger amd swollen since day 1 after surgery. But on day 3, blood came out of my right cheek incision. Doctor said it was normal when he saw me two days after. He said it may have been a little blood stuck in my tissue. I ask if i had hematoma since my skin was kind of bruising at that place. He said no because hematoma would have been much bigger and more blue on my skin. But its been a week now amd bloid is still coming out of my right cheek incision when i press gently against it. And it feels different: it usually felt like a hard round little ball was inside my cheek. And now it feel soft kind ok chewy and more flat but still a little hard. Doctor said it eas the swelling. But why is my cheeks feeling that hard? And why blood still coming out of my incision? Am i having internal bleeding? Hematoma? Seroma? Im kind of freaking out! Thank you so mich for your help and advice!

One of my cheeks was also bigger because my the doctor had a harder time taking out the fat. Did he put stitches on you? I was never bleeding and it's been a month and still feel the little ball inside each cheek. how are you doing ?

My doctor did told me that he had a harder time taking the fat out of my right cheek and that is why it is more swollen. The bleeding have stopped since it was coming out of my inside cheek incision on my right side and those incisions are almost completely heal now. Yes he did put stiches that dont need to be removed inside of both of my cheeks. Its been almost two weeks now and i still feel a hard and bigger lump in my right cheek. It is almost completely gone on my left side. But it is still swollen i can feel it. Doctor said 6 weeks for the results to start to show and 3-4 months for the final result.
You telling me that you still feel little balls inside your cherks after a month is discouraging me. I cant wait for these lumps to fade away. Are you still swollen? Do you already see a difference in your face after a month? How long did your doctor told you it would take for your swelling to go away and for your result to show?
Have you tried massaging the little balls in your cheeks? My doctor told me that it was swelling of the muscle cheek tissue so basically fluid stuck inside so massaging the area would help fading it away. I have been massaging for a week now and i feel like its helping.

Sorry but it's actually going to be two months and my jaw is finally opening up with out hurting my self. Honestly, I thought this was going to be a easy surgery!!! My face for sort of even out at about 2-3weeks . That's when the swelling went down. I actually don't mind the little balls so I don't do anything lol they are small. My doctor didn't put any stitches on me.

That happened to me as well and it was so bothersome. I ended up having a hematoma. Same symptoms as you. It went away but it was like after 2 or 2.5 weeks. It was annoying

Did it go away on its own or did you get medications for it? I’m 2 week post op & one side is still so swollen
