SAY GOODBYE TO ROUND CHEEKS

Some people are naturally born with a round face. This is because of the large fat pockets in the cheek or buccal. If you have a round face, you might find yourself hoping that working out and eating right can help get rid of the fat. Sometimes, it is just not enough. That is when one turns to contour and makeup to hide the fullness. Keeping up with the makeup can be a task. This is when you need some extra help and should consider Buccal fat removal Toronto. If this is a procedure you haven’t heard about or been considering, we are here to give you that extra push. Here is all that you need to know about this cosmetic surgical procedure.

What is the procedure followed for buccal fat removal?

The surgery is fairly simple and takes about an hour or lesser. Local anaesthetic with IV sedation or general anaesthesia is administered to the patient. After that, the surgeon makes a small incision inside the cheek. Gentle pressure is applied on the outside of the cheek which makes the buccal fat visible. The fat also begins to protrude from the opening making it easier for the surgeon to remove the desired amount of fat. The same process is also followed on the other side. In the end, the incisions are closed using dissolvable sutures.

What does recovery look like after buccal fat removal surgery?

A great thing about this surgery is that recovery is fairly simple. Once you’ve woken up and felt like going back home, you can do so with a friend or a family member. Before you leave you will be provided with care instructions and medications. The next appointment date will also be set. As the incisions are made inside the mouth, there are no external bandages but you might experience some swelling. For the next week, it is suggested to have soft and liquid food. This will help to protect the inner area. As the mucosal skin recovers quickly, most patients return to work within a week.

During this recovery time, you mustn’t bend over, or do heavy lighting or intense workouts. This recommendation is made to avoid increasing your blood pressure. Otherwise, it can impact recovery time and even cause more swelling.

Are the results permanent?

In the removal surgery, the buccal fat pads are removed. This means that the fat cells that were previously present in the cheek are no longer there. Even if you gain weight after undergoing the surgery, it won’t impact the results. Even 10 years after the removal procedure, the results would continue to be satisfying.

Schedule a consultation

If it has been your dream to have sculpted cheeks and the buccal fat has been standing in your way, it is time to go ahead with the consultation. Share your aesthetic goals with the surgeon. The surgeon will help to determine which option is best suited for you and how it can help you achieve the desired results.
