Once the healing process kicks in, the swelling and bruising will subside. Any post-operative discomfort or pain can be easily addressed with medication.

How long is the recovery after Buccal Fat Removal?

The recovery period after your Buccal Fat Removal surgery is short because, during the procedure, the muscles, tendons, and ligaments are not touched.

Dr. Passaretti strongly recommends that any vigorous exercise or activities should be avoided for at least one to two weeks after the procedure.

What kind of results can I expect?

Most patients can expect to see a thinning of cheeks within three to four weeks after their buccal fat removal surgery. The results of the procedure become more visible generally after six weeks when most of the swelling has subsided. However, final and full results can take up to three months or more to show completely.
