Pre Operative Question Answer

What type of anesthesia is used for buccal fat removal?

For buccal fat removal, the procedure is typically performed using local anesthesia with or without sedation. This means that the area being treated will be numbed, and you may also receive medication to help you relax during the surgery. Your plastic surgeon will assess your specific needs and preferences to determine the most suitable anesthesia approach for you, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout the procedure. It is important to have a detailed discussion with your surgeon to understand the anesthesia options available and address any concerns you may have.
