Post-op period
Length of recovery period after a buccal fat extraction surgery depends upon the individual’s healing ability. The final result of the surgery becomes evident a few months later. The outcome of the procedure is not drastic or unnatural. No one will notice that you have had a surgery, rather they would ask if you have lost some weight. As the incisions are made on the inside of the mouth so, there will be no visible scars.
Potential risks
As it is a surgical procedure, it has some potential risks and complications. Swelling and bruising are normal side effects. Infection can also occur which would need your surgeon’s immediate attention. You should check your temperature every now and then because an increase in temperature may indicate an infection. Take food that are bacteria free and avoid any connection with the wound.
A serious complication is loss of sensation around the cheeks that can be temporary but can become permanent in some cases. Asymmetry in both the cheeks in another complication. Both of these issues would essentially mean another surgery.
The surgery must be performed carefully and a lot of fat tissues must not be extracted as it would give a hollow appearance. Consult an American Board Certified plastic surgeon to discuss your case. Contour your face and get an aesthetically ideal appearance.
