Breast augmentation using implants is usually performed in several stages. First, your surgeon will create chest pockets to encapsulate the devices. The implants are then inserted, boosting chest volume. There are quite a number of variables to decide upon with your surgeon, as each procedure is masterfully customized to suit your body type and goals.

You will need to choose your implant type, incision pattern, and implant placement. Rest assured, our compassionate, supportive team will be here to guide you every step of the way as you navigate your surgical journey.

Buccal fat removal is a relatively simple and straightforward procedure, yet it requires the skill and precision of an experienced surgeon to ensure optimal results. At CosmetiCare, we begin with a thorough consultation to assess your facial structure and discuss your aesthetic goals. This personalized approach allows us to tailor the procedure to your unique needs, ensuring that the results enhance your natural beauty. On the day of the procedure, you will be comfortably settled in one of our state-of-the-art surgical suites. Buccal fat removal is typically performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the area and keeps you comfortable throughout the process. Sometimes, mild sedation may be used depending on your preference and the surgeon’s recommendation.

The procedure begins with a small incision inside the mouth, located in the inner lining of your cheeks. This approach ensures that there is no visible scarring on the outside of the face. Your surgeon carefully locates the buccal fat pads through this incision and gently removes a portion to achieve the desired contour. The amount of fat removed is meticulously controlled to create a balanced, symmetrical appearance that complements your facial features. After the fat is removed, the incisions inside the mouth are closed with dissolvable sutures. Because the incisions are so small and inside the mouth, the healing process is usually rapid and discreet. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour, making it a convenient option for those seeking significant facial enhancement without requiring a lengthy surgery.

Recovery from buccal fat removal at CosmetiCare is designed to be as smooth and comfortable as possible. Immediately following the procedure, you may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the treated area. These symptoms are normal and typically subside within a few days. Your surgeon may prescribe pain medication or recommend over-the-counter options to manage any discomfort. During the initial recovery period, following a soft or liquid diet is important to avoid irritating the incisions inside your mouth. We will provide you with a detailed list of recommended foods and beverages and guidelines for oral hygiene to keep the area clean and promote healing. It’s crucial to avoid smoking and drinking through a straw during the recovery period, as these actions can put unnecessary strain on the healing tissues.

Most patients find that they can return to work and normal activities within a week of the procedure, though it’s advisable to avoid strenuous activities for at least two weeks. We recommend sleeping with your head elevated for the first few nights to help reduce swelling more quickly. Our team will also schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and ensure you’re recovering well. As the swelling continues to subside over the following weeks, you’ll begin to see the enhanced contours of your face emerge. The final results, showcasing your slimmer, more defined cheeks, typically become fully apparent within three months. At CosmetiCare, we’re committed to supporting you through every step of the recovery process, ensuring you achieve the beautiful, natural-looking results you desire.
