BUCCAL FAT REMOVAL | how long until I see my final result? REAL Surgery Results in 3D over time

[@ale4315]

I got this done last year and saw my final results around 7 months later (was very chubby still in the first 6 months). I wasn't convinced at first and was wondering if I had wasted my money, but it was totally worth the wait. I'm happy with the results.

I had mine done two weeks ago with jawline liposuction but I don't see no results at all. Infact my face looks chubby as before. Is that something to worry about?

[@gj9157]

​@@salehhussain1140Any progress?

[@OiVinn-eq1ml]

Had this done 2 weeks ago. Can't wait until I see the full results. I am slowly seeing the difference already

[@jonathanzelkenmd]

Very cool, keep us posted

It's been 2 months and 4 days now since I've got mine done. My face was swollen for about a week, and after that, I noticed that my cheeks were less chubby from certain angles. Currently, I would say the surgery was a success as my cheeks have become less chubby. I can't really tell much difference from then to now, though. So, I do hope my cheeks will continue to get slimmer over time, as my cheeks are still quite chubby, especially from certain angles and lighting.

Im 10 days post op with some really noticeable asymmetry, thanks for putting me at ease a bit!

[@jonathanzelkenmd]

*really* noticeable asymmetry may not be normal- you may wish to discuss with your surgeon

[@sterlingforbes3872]

Awesome video.

[@jonathanzelkenmd]

Thanks Sterling

I recently had this procedure. I was surprised by how small the fat pads where when I saw them on the table afterwards. Do they generally “deflate” after they are removed? I think that’s what the assistant said, but I’m concerned not a lot was taken out?

[@jonathanzelkenmd]

I hear this often when we show patients the fat pads. They do look underwhelming. The fat pads are roughly the size of your index finger from your PIP joint (second knuckle from tip) to the tip.

[@harrymoffatt1541]

My fat pads were massive!

[@smileyfacewithsunglasses7613]

I had my procedure done a week and a half ago. My cheeks are sore and I can't open my mouth all the way so eating and brushing my teeth have been a challenge. I haven't seen anything that addresses the inflammation caused by buccal fat removal. My lymphatic drainage massage therapist told me it's my body's way of protecting itself from further injury.

[@jonathanzelkenmd]

This is not a normal response. Have you discussed this with your surgeon?

[@smileyfacewithsunglasses7613]

@@jonathanzelkenmd yes, he said it's a secondary irritation of the masseter muscle and could take a couple of weeks to subside. Today is week 2, it's a little better so we'll see what happens in another week.

[@LilianaJoo07]

Great video, very informative!

[@jonathanzelkenmd]

Thank you!

[@eliadvo]

Great video and I understand you were talking about when to expect final results but may I ask at what week would you say a patient is healed enough to not look like they have had something done?

[@jonathanzelkenmd]

Maybe 1 week

[@BeautyLifewithLC]

Thank you for the video!

[@minipandora22]

Wow, amazing video

Incredible technology! So cool

[@miguelsaelices4459]

Hi! Thanks for the video. I have asymmetry before and after bichectomy. My left side is bigger than right and this includes bone, muscle and subcutaneus fat I think. Is it possible to reduce the left side with accutite? subcutaneous fat at least

[@EricCho-tz1po]

Hello I did buccal fat removal 7 months ago and I still see no results

[@jonathanzelkenmd]

Did your surgeon show you what was removed? Im not too surprised either way- the result can sometimes be quite subtle.

[@cindyk2088]

Thank you for this! It is very reassuring as I am 3 weeks post op today and one side is noticeably slimmer than the other. Would the final results vary if a bigger fat pad was taken out on one side than the other?

[@jonathanzelkenmd]

I really can’t answer not having done the surgery- what are your surgeons thoughts?

[@oanadaniela1252]

all the people tell me i was loosing weight but im not I' loosing fat just on the face on the body no. What happen this maybr you can do a video about this

[@oanadaniela1252]

[@msafo3524]

Im seeing results after 14 months. How about that. And it is still subtle. Even though entire pads were removed. But Im pretty sure my face will look even more different 2 years from now.
