How is buccal fat removal performed?

You may be given anti-anxiety medication prior to surgery to help you relax. Once you are comfortable, local anesthetic will be injected along the inside of the cheek. Once the local anesthesia has taken effect, Dr. Song will make a precise incision inside your cheek. He will carefully expose the buccal fat pad and remove the required amount to yield a sculpted and defined appearance. He will close the wound with dissolvable sutures.
