The Buccal Fat Removal Procedure:

Consultation:

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this session, your surgeon will assess your medical history, discuss your goals, and determine the best approach for your buccal fat removal. This is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions and learn more about the procedure.

Preparation:

You will receive detailed pre-operative instructions, including guidelines on medications, dietary considerations, and other preparatory steps to ensure a successful surgery.

Surgery:

The buccal fat removal procedure typically involves the following steps:

  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia is used to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery.
  • Incisions: Small incisions are made inside the mouth to access the buccal fat pads, ensuring there are no visible scars.
  • Fat Removal: The buccal fat pads are carefully removed or reduced to achieve the desired contour.
  • Closing the Incisions: The incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures, promoting optimal healing.

Aftercare & Recovery

Immediate Post-Operative Care:

  • Monitoring and Assistance: You will be monitored in the recovery area before being allowed to go home. Arrange for someone to assist you during the first 24 hours.
  • Cold Compresses: Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling and bruising in the cheek area.
  • Medications: Take prescribed pain relievers and antibiotics to manage discomfort and prevent infection.

Home Care Instructions:

  • Oral Hygiene: Follow your surgeon’s instructions for oral hygiene, including using a special mouth rinse to prevent infection and ensure proper healing of the incision sites.
  • Soft Diet: Stick to a soft or liquid diet for the first few days to avoid putting stress on the incisions. Gradually reintroduce solid foods as advised by your surgeon.
  • Avoid Irritants: Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, and consuming spicy foods as these can irritate the healing tissues and increase the risk of infection.

Activity Restrictions:

  • Rest: Rest and avoid strenuous activities for the first week to promote healing.

  • Facial Movements: Limit excessive facial movements and expressions that may strain the cheek area during the initial recovery period.

Follow-Up Visits:
