The patient must take into account several aspects if he or she is considering buccal fat removal:
It is crucial to be very conservative with the amount of fat removed.
This point is especially true in patients with thin, narrow faces. Excessive removal of fat may result in unnatural results or a gaunt appearance.
Results are not seen immediately.
Due to the inflammation in the operated area, it is necessary to wait two to three months to appreciate the results.
Asoft diet is vital during the first week.
Mouth rinses are also essential to reduce the risk of infection. Although you may feel a bit sore in your mouth, recovery is not very painful.
