Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Effects of photobiomodulation of high-power diode laser in the postoperative period of removal of buccal fat pads (CAB).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Analyze postoperative pain using a visual analogue scale (VAS); Analyze postoperative trismus by measuring maximum mouth opening with a Willis caliper; Evaluate the characteristics of the surgical wound through photographic images; From the photographic record of participants in pre-established conditions, analyze results on facial changes judged by evaluating photographs in pre- and post-operative moments (immediately, 7, 14, 30 and 6 months, 1 year); Evaluate the health-related quality of life of research participants on the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th postoperative days using the OHIP-14 questionnaire; Evaluate the aesthetic satisfaction of research participants in the pre- and post-operative period of 6 and 1 year using the FACE-Q scale.
