For our patients in Reston buccal fat removal is ideal for those maintaining a stable weight, who are in good health, and who want a slimmer-looking face. Also, those with hollow cheeks and volume loss due to aging may be ideal for this procedure as well.
The best way to identify if you may benefit from buccal fat removal is to visit our Reston, VA office and speak with one of our certified doctors. During a thorough consultation, they can determine if you may be an ideal candidate for this procedure. It may be recommended to have buccal fat removal performed along with other facial procedures to maximize face sculpting results.
Buccal fat removal is a surgical procedure that is performed under general anesthesia. The process can typically be completed in around an hour, but this may vary from patient to patient, such as if they are having other procedures done at the same time. After sedation, the procedure begins with incisions made in the cheeks of your mouth. The buccal fat pad is then reduced on both sides, and sutures will be used to close the incisions.
After you are cleared to go home (be sure to have a friend or family member pick you up), you will be given careful instructions on how to care for your incisions. You may need to eat soft foods until your incisions fully heal. Some swelling in the cheeks may occur, but it shouldn’t last for more than a day or two. A little while after the buccal fat removal Reston patients should notice the swelling going down and the results should be visible.
If you desire thinner, more contoured cheeks or want to enhance the results of facial sculpting, then you may want to consider buccal fat removal.
