What is done during buccal fat removal?
Buccal fat removal starts with an in-depth consultation where Dr. Miller assesses your facial structure and specific aesthetic goals. Dr. Miller uses his specialized approach to devise a personalized treatment plan, focusing on enhancing your facial contours while maintaining natural proportions.
During the procedure, anesthesia is administered for your comfort. Dr. Miller then makes small incisions inside the mouth, typically near the second molars, allowing him to access and carefully remove the targeted buccal fat pads.
This process sculpts and contours the cheeks for a more defined appearance. Dr. Miller then closes the incisions with sutures that usually dissolve on their own. Post-procedure, his team provides diligent care and schedules follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and provide instructions for a smooth recovery.
What age is suitable for buccal fat removal?
The suitable age for undergoing buccal fat removal typically starts from the early 20s onward. It’s important that the facial structure has fully matured before considering this procedure. However, the ideal age can vary depending on individual facial development and personal goals. A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon is essential to determine the right timing for each individual.
Is buccal fat removal painful?
Buccal fat removal is generally not painful, as it is performed under anesthesia, which prevents you from feeling pain during the surgery. After the surgery, you might experience some discomfort, swelling, or bruising, but these are usually manageable with prescribed pain medication and careful adherence to your surgeon’s care instructions.
What are the risks of buccal fat removal?
Buccal fat removal is extremely safe and effective when a double board-certified like Dr. Miller performs the procedure. There is only a rare chance for complications, although when these occur, they can include: poor healing, bleeding, scarring, and asymmetry.
How long can the results of buccal fat removal last?
The results of buccal fat removal are typically long-lasting and can be considered permanent. Since the procedure involves the removal of buccal fat pads from your cheeks, these cells do not regenerate.
