Buccal fat transposition surgeries

Buccal fat transposition surgery is a reconstructive and aesthetic procedure that involves repositioning the buccal fat pad to enhance facial contour, correct soft tissue defects, or improve structural support following trauma or surgical excision. It is commonly used in maxillofacial reconstruction, facial recontouring, and in cases requiring augmentation of volume-deficient areas.

Potential Complications :

• Swelling and bruising at the surgical site.
• Temporary facial asymmetry.
• Risk of infection if proper hygiene is not maintained.
• Injury to the facial nerve or parotid duct during fat mobilization.
• Recurrence of volume deficiency due to fat resorption.

Buccal fat transposition surgery is an effective technique for both reconstructive and aesthetic purposes. Proper case selection, precise surgical technique, and meticulous postoperative care contribute to optimal functional and cosmetic outcomes.
