How is Buccal Fat Diagnosed?

Diagnosis is primarily cosmetic and based on consultation. The process includes:

The surgeon assesses cheek fullness, facial symmetry, and overall structure.
Ensures no underlying health condition is causing swelling.
Rarely, imaging tests may be done to rule out abnormal growths or swelling.
Understanding expectations helps design a personalized treatment plan.

Advanced Treatment Options for Buccal Fat

At Pristyn Care Elantis, several advanced techniques are used to reduce buccal fat safely:

Buccal fat removal surgery: A small incision is made inside the mouth to access and remove the buccal fat pad. The incision heals quickly and leaves no external scars.
Liposuction-assisted buccal fat reduction: For patients with additional fat accumulation, liposuction may be used to refine the contour.
Laser-assisted buccal fat treatment: Laser precision ensures minimal tissue trauma, less swelling, and faster recovery.

Each method is customized based on the patient’s anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.

Recovery Time

Most patients recover from buccal fat treatment within 1 to 2 weeks. Swelling and mild discomfort are common in the first few days but subside quickly with proper care. Final results usually become visible after 3 to 4 weeks, once swelling fully resolves and the new facial contours settle.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before the procedure:

Consultation with the surgeon to evaluate suitability.
Pre-operative instructions including dietary and medication guidelines.
Basic diagnostic tests may be advised.

During the procedure:

The surgery typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes.
Performed under local anesthesia or light sedation.
A small incision is made inside the mouth to access and remove the fat pads.
No external scars are left.

After the procedure:

Patients can usually go home the same day.
Mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort is normal.
Soft diet recommended for a few days to allow healing.
Regular follow-up appointments ensure recovery progress.

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

First 3-5 days: Swelling and tenderness are common. Patients are advised to eat soft foods and avoid chewing hard substances.
Week 1-2: Stitches (if any) dissolve on their own. Most patients resume work and light activities.
Week 3-4: Swelling subsides significantly, and facial contours become more visible.
1-2 months: Final results are evident, with improved cheek definition and a sculpted appearance.

Post-treatment care tips:

Follow prescribed medications for pain and infection prevention.
Maintain good oral hygiene to avoid infection.
Avoid smoking and alcohol for at least two weeks.
Stick to a healthy diet and stay hydrated.

How to Prevent Buccal Fat from Coming Back

Buccal fat removal offers permanent results because the removed fat pads do not grow back. However, significant weight gain can lead to fat accumulation in other facial areas, which may affect the overall contour. Maintaining a stable weight, following a balanced diet, and exercising regularly helps preserve results long-term.
