Process of Eliminating Fat from Buccal Pads
Buccal Pad Fat removal, also known as Buccal Lipectomy, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that aims to give defined facial contours by reducing the size of the cheeks. This popular procedure is performed by board-certified plastic surgeons like Dr. Rajat Gupta, who specializes in this type of surgery.
The surgery is carried out at RG Aesthetics, a well-equipped center operated by Dr. Gupta, a plastic surgeon with 15 years of experience in India. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis and takes approximately 30 minutes.
Before the surgery, patients may be required to undergo blood tests and have certain medications adjusted. Good physical health is essential for the procedure. It's also crucial to stop smoking a month before and after the surgery, and to avoid recreational drugs like cocaine.
During the surgery, the surgeon administers local or general anesthesia and makes a half-centimeter incision inside the cheek to expose the buccal pad. The buccal fat pad is then cut and removed, and the incision is closed with dissolvable sutures.
After the surgery, no food or drink is allowed for six hours, followed by a soft food or liquid diet. Patients should avoid drinking or eating hard food for six hours post-surgery. Ice packs can be used to reduce swelling in the cheeks.
The recovery process involves managing mild to moderate swelling, minor bruising, and mild discomfort. Swelling and occasional numbness near the incision inside the mouth are common post-operative symptoms and generally start to subside within one to three weeks. Some patients may see visible thinning of the cheeks within four weeks, but final results can take several months as residual swelling resolves and tissues settle.
Patients are often advised to elevate their head while sleeping for several nights after surgery to reduce swelling, avoid smoking and alcohol during recovery to prevent delayed healing, and adhere strictly to follow-up appointments for monitoring progress and concerns.
It's important to have realistic expectations from the surgery. The quality of the results depends on the surgeon, the center, and the techniques used. Extreme facial expressions should be avoided during recovery.
