Your Recovery
Shortly after your buccal fat removal at Houston's Arroyo Plastic Surgery, you will be given a special mouthwash that helps prevent infections.

Mild discomfort, pain, swelling, and slight bruising are common within the first few days but usually disappear with time. Cold packs may be used to improve the soreness. If you have stitches in your mouth, they typically dissolve within ten days. Most people can return to their routine schedule within seven days based on their work. It may be up to 4 months before you are fully recovered, depending on your body’s healing ability.
