Procedure
This operation is usually performed in a hospital, licensed ambulatory surgery setting or a specialized office. Medications will be used to make you feel comfortable. Depending on your overall health condition, your doctor may choose either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.
In the very beginning, doctors make an incision inside your mouth, on the inner portion of your cheek. In some cases, the buccal fat pad might be removed during a facelift. Therefore, an incision inside the mouth won’t be needed. Then, surgeons will close the incisions using some absorbable stitches.

The reason is that the more your rest, the better you will feel.After having this operation, you may experience shortness of breath, unusual heart beats or chest pains. You don’t need to worry about such complications because majority of patientswill feel better after two or three days. If this period lasts longer, talk to your doctor about them immediately to receive additional treatment. Mostly, patients will have to consume a liquid diet for several days or even longer depending on their situation. In addition, youwill learn how to use special mouth rinses to reduce the risk of infection.

In general, if you take care of yourself and follow all the instructions, you will be able to enjoy your new appearance for a longer period of time.
Through this operation, surgeons remove part of the buccal fat pads in the cheeks. These fat pads are located in the lower cheeks and can lead to an overly round or plump face, also known as "chipmunk cheeks".
Buccal fat removal can be performed at almost any age. Nonetheless, keep in mind that majority of people lose facial fat in their 20s and 30s. If their fat reserves are removed before that time, they will have a gaunt appearance after undergoing the surgery. In this case, their face will look too thin and unhealthy.
It’s recommended to take at least a week or two off work. Thus, you can rest for a longer period of time. Another significant point to mention is that this operation is carried out on your cheeks which are hard to hide. Accordingly, it’s better to stay at home for several weeks before taking part in social events. After a month, you will have a follow-up meeting with your doctor. Then, you will be informed of the suitable time when you can feel free to do your daily routine activities.
In spite of the fact that there is usually no extensive pain related to this operation, many doctors prescribe some medications in advance to alleviate potential pain and reduce bruising. Bromelain and Vitamin K can be mentioned as the most common medications taken in case of pain or swelling. When such complications fade away, you can go back to work and do your daily activities. You might also feel a degree of numbness which is completely normal. It will disappear within two to three months.

Most vitamins and herbal supplements have some side effects; they may cause bleeding during the operation. Your doctor will provide you with a list of medications that must be avoided before and after the surgery.
During your buccal fat extraction consultation, your doctor will ask you aboutthe aesthetic goals you have, review theavailable options, and explain what can be realistically achieved with this surgery. The probable complications and anesthesia choices will be clarified as well. It’s better to think about all your expectations in advance and talk to your doctor about them. In this case, your surgeon will determine the best option and you can make sure that all your favorable results will be obtained.
For a week or two, your lower face and mouth might be sore, swollen and tender. You don’t need to worry about them because such complications will fade away gradually. Your doctor usually recommendsa special diet of foods which are not acidic. You must also sleep with your head elevated for at least a week and rinse your mouth with a mouthwash several times every day.
They aregenerally removed within seven to ten days after your buccal fat extraction surgery. Of course, before removing the sutures, your doctor will evaluate your progress and overall health condition. By the way, the removal process is so quick and mostly not painful.
As the swelling fades away, you will be able to see the results. Nevertheless, you may have to wait for about two weeks since taking some medications may reduce the speed of healing. Therefore, it’s better to set a follow-up meeting with your doctor after a month to learn how to take care of yourself for achieving your favorable results.
