Buccal fat removal is generally well-tolerated by patients and discomfort during the procedure is typically minimal. While individual pain thresholds may vary, your plastic surgeon will administer local anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable throughout the surgery. Following the procedure, some temporary swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort may occur, but these can be managed effectively with prescribed pain medication and proper aftercare. Your surgeon will provide detailed instructions on pain management and post-operative care to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery process.
