The first step to getting buccal fat removal surgery is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Timberlake at our Upper East Side office to see if this procedure will give you the desired results. During your appointment, you can explain your goals for surgery and ask questions about the procedure and your options. Dr. Timberlake will ask about your medical history, concerns, and expectations. He will then evaluate your face and cheeks to make suggestions and devise a surgical plan.
After discussing a surgical plan, our surgical coordinator will help you schedule your surgical date and share any pre-operative instructions.
When performed in isolation, the surgery takes approximately one hour via small incisions inside the mouth. If the surgery is performed as part of a facelift, no separate incision is made inside the mouth.
