Once the area is numb, the surgeon makes an incision in your mouth near the upper molars. From the incision, once surrounding tissue is carefully moved out of the way to expose the fat, the fatty tissue is uncovered, cauterised and removed. The surgeon then makes sure to return everything - minus the fat - to their original spots and closes the incision with sutures.
