this will be the group evaluated in this study, individuals who performed the BFP removal procedure.

Bichat's Fat Pad Atrophy

Facial Expression

The surgical procedure was performed using the technique with intrabuccal access, already consecrated in the literature (Materasso 2006). The Bichat fat ball access was made by means of a small incision no more than 3 mm in length in the soft tissue located in the lower aspect of the zygomatic counterfoot, taking care to visualize and protect with the retractor the Stensen's conduit. With the aid of blunt-tipped or hemostatic scissors dissection was performed, taking care to preserve the membrane surrounding the ball of fat. After removal of one side, pressure was removed to remove air and the procedure was started on the opposite side, after the removal of the two sides was realized simple suture with silk thread. There were no formal indications for sending the samples for anatomic and / or histological examination.

Postoperative Evaluation of the Intraoral Technique of Buccal Fat Pad Removal

to evaluate during the post-operative period the limitation of mouth opening, by means of manual pachymeter, and measured in millimeters.

to evaluate in the post-operative period the presence of local edema. the presence of local edema will be verified through the patient's report, and the researcher's preservation through the photographs obtained in the preoperative period.

photographs obtained before and after the surgical procedure will be placed in the PortraitPro 11 software and assessed for facial contour. The observed difference will be measured in millimeters

We included in the present study 40 patients who sought the UNIMES Dentistry Clinic for the BFP removal procedure. All female, aged between 20 and 40 years and showing good general health. All the patients received information and had access to the informed consent form that after the necessary explanations was duly filled and signed.
Clinical parameters such as periodontal indices (depth of probing, plaque index and gingival index), characteristics of the jugal mucosa, opening of the mouth, and the amount of fat removed were evaluated. After detailed anamnesis and verified the need to remove the fat ball by constant bite on the jugal mucosa or for aesthetic reasons of facial thinning the patients were instructed to perform the blood tests, fasting blood glucose and complete blood count. With the exams presenting normal levels and compatible with health status, the patients were scheduled to perform the proposed therapy.

BTX-A will be reconstituted as directed by the manufacturer. 2.5 mL of diluent (0.9% Saline) per 100 U vial will be used to reconstitute the solution while swirling. This creates a solution with a concentration of 4 U/0.1 mL. Patients will be seated and all usual precautions of sterility and skin preparation will be completed (i.e. alcohol wipes) Injections will be administered unilateral and/or bilaterally in accordance with the topography of the corresponding muscles (temporalis and masseter) into areas of maximal tenderness and pain. Plastic single use insulin syringes with 30 gauge needles will be used to inject 30 U intramuscularly into each masseter, divided evenly into 5 sites and 20 U will be injected into each temporalis, divided evenly over 5 sites. Injections will be completed by the principal investigator and supervisors who will be trained in botulinum toxin injections.

Treatment of Temporo-Myofascial Disorder of Muscular Origin Using Botulinum Toxin: A Prospective Study

Subjective pain scores will be assessed on a visual analog scale (VAS) where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst facial or jaw pain they've ever experience. Subjective functional assessments will also be assessed with VAS where 0 means no limitation and 10 indicates severe limitation with scales for chewing, drinking, exercising, eating hard food, eating soft food, smiling or laughing, cleaning their teeth, yawning, swallowing and talking.

Range of motion will be assessed with a Boley gauge between the same upper and lower incisor each time

Pain to pressure will be ranked from 0 to 5, with 0 indicating no pain and 5 representing extreme debilitating pain. Addition of each score will give a composite score of the overall facial tenderness out of a maximal score of 24 (2 areas X 6 scores X bilaterally).

A point inferior to each ear lobule bilaterally will be marked as well as a point on the menton will be chosen and recorded. The distance unilaterally from one lobule to menton will be measured for left and right sides and a total distance will also be calculated to assess facial width.
