Buccal fat removal surgery (cheek fat reduction) is a popular method for achieving a well-contoured and balanced facial appearance. To ensure a smooth recovery and natural-looking results, it is essential to follow post-operative instructions carefully. Dr. Farzin Davoudi, a leading ENT specialist and facial plastic surgeon, recommends the following post-operative care guidelines for buccal fat removal:
- For the first 24 hours, only drink cold fluids. Avoid solid foods.
- Keep the dressing on continuously for the first 5 days, and during sleep for the next 5 nights.
- Do not spit, use straws, or perform any suction movements.
- Swelling during the first 24 hours is normal and does not require special care.
- Keep your head elevated while sleeping.
- Avoid brushing over the sutures for one week.
