Pre Operative Question Answer

Will buccal fat removal affect my ability to chew or eat normally?

Buccal fat removal typically does not have a significant impact on your ability to chew or eat normally. The procedure focuses on reducing the volume of buccal fat pads in the cheeks, which are not directly involved in chewing or mastication, so you can expect minimal interference with your eating habits following the surgery. However, it’s important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions and communicate any concerns or difficulties you experience during the recovery process.
