Does A Buccal Lipectomy Reversal Fat Graft Divide The Muscle?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Is the muscle divided for a buccal lipectomy reversal fat graft?

A: The buccinator muscle is divided to enter the buccal space…just like is required for the original buccal lipectomy procedure. Rather than taking out fat a fat graft is out back in.
