Recent clinical reviews indicate 75% of patients experience no complications. Primary risks include prolonged swelling, asymmetric results, or premature facial gauntness. Results are irreversible because buccal fat provides structural face support.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Surgical risks:</strong> Damage to the parotid salivary duct or facial nerves occurs in under 1%.</li> <li><strong>Postoperative recovery:</strong> Edema affects 38.4% of patients, while 30.1% experience temporary jaw stiffness or trismus.</li> <li><strong>Aesthetic concerns:</strong> Removing fat under age 30 can lead to a hollowed appearance during aging.</li> <li><strong>Revision difficulty:</strong> Correcting excessive hollowing requires expensive fat grafting or dermal fillers to restore volume.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Bookimed Expert Insight:</strong> Patients prioritize Poland for the _price_percent_discount_% savings compared to US prices.
