What to Expect From Your Procedure

Your first step will involve an informative consultation with Dr. Chopra. During this meeting, you’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, and Dr. Chopra will evaluate your facial structure. He’ll carefully explain the procedure to you in detail, answering any questions you might have so that you can feel confident and fully informed.

On the day of your surgery, Dr. Chopras’ team will administer anesthesia for your comfort. He’ll begin the procedure by making small incisions inside your mouth, on the inner sides of your cheeks. Through these incisions, the buccal fat pads are exposed and can be carefully removed. The incisions are then closed using dissolvable sutures. The entire procedure typically lasts about an hour.

After Your Buccal Fat Pad Removal

After the procedure, you’ll spend some time in our recovery room under close supervision. Once you’re ready, you can return home the same day, but you’ll need a friend to drive you as the anesthesia wears off gradually. We’ll make sure to provide you with clear aftercare instructions and a timeline that explains your recovery process in detail. Dr. Chopra will also schedule follow-up appointments to ensure that you’re healing properly, and our team will be available to you at all times as you recover and get ready to enjoy your final results. Minor discomfort, bruising, and swelling are quite common but will gradually subside over the course of a week or two. As this happens, you’ll start to notice an exciting enhancement to your facial contours. Remember that your final results may take a few months to become apparent as your face continues to heal and adapt to its new contours.

Frequently Asked Questions Buccal Fat Pad Removal

Is the buccal fat pad removal procedure right for everyone?

Buccal fat pad removal is an excellent procedure for anyone interested in a more defined sense of facial contour. It is not suited for everyone, though, and Dr. Chopra will help you decide whether or not this procedure is right for you during your consultation. Those with naturally thin faces, for example, might find that the procedure makes them look more aged.

Can buccal fat pad removal be combined with other procedures?

Absolutely. Buccal fat pad removal can be combined with other facial contouring procedures like chin augmentation or rhinoplasty, depending on your aesthetic goals. You and Dr. Chopra can discuss these possibilities during your consultation.

How long does the procedure take?

Buccal fat pad removal is a relatively quick procedure, typically taking about one hour to complete. Of course, if it’s combined with other procedures, the duration might be longer.

Will there be any visible scarring after the procedure?

One of the benefits of buccal fat pad removal is that the incisions are made inside your mouth, which means there won’t be any visible scarring on your face.

Is the procedure reversible?

Buccal fat pad removal is generally permanent. The buccal fat pads, once removed, do not grow back. That’s why the decision to undergo the procedure should be well-considered and discussed with your surgeon.
