At The Oaks Plastic Surgery (TOPS), buccal fat removal can be performed under local or general anesthesia,and is a relatively quick procedure with minimal pain or downtime. Buccal fat removal is performed through an incision in the mouth, or at the same time as a facelift with no additional scars or incisions.
