I had micro liposuction to the cheeks to correct a fat grafting procedure that resulted in a chubby look.
The procedure was painless (under general anesthesia) and I never took any pain meds. My face was numb within the procedure area for weeks, but subsided with each week, and completely went away after 3 months.
I couldn't be happier with the results, it's amazing how something that seems so small of a feature can have such a big impact on how you look. I am now 3 months post, and all of the numbness has subsided. I look like my old self (perhaps a bit better).

Hi can you tell me how long after the fat transfer you got the microliposuction, where the incision points were, if there was and swelling and downtime, if there is risk of dimpling, any nerve damage risks? I see mixed recs from doctors who say it's possible and others who say it's not possible to lipo the face. Please let me know thanks!

Thanks for the review. I am very interested in having this procedure. Can you clarify with which of the 2 doctors did you do this procedure? did you have it all over the face or just under the cheeks?

March 28, 2015
I called them and they told me close to 11,000 and I told them I saw somebody on real self that paid around 4,000 because thats what you said in the title and they said no way we would charge that and that dr hunstad is world renowned dr and he would never charge that price and they told me almost 11,000 and i have a small area less fat than you? Also did they give you Anesthesia? Thanks
