I have had filler for my cheeks and liked the results. The problem was that the filler did not last very long. I looked into cheek implants. I had done a lot of research on cheek augmentation with mixed reviews. It appears that there is a significant skill impact. Finally, I found a doctor that has had NO, zero, revisions due to shifting implants. I went with him and am very happy with the results. WELL WORTH IT!!!

Sorry, the other comment abbreviated. For the first two weeks it was pronounced...

Thanks. Feel great, too. He did attach them, I think. I am not sure if the material

the size you picked looks so natural. Do you know if you got small, medium, or large? Whatever size you got I would want something similar

He actually had a measuring system that ensures you get the exact match for your face.

Sorry, I am of the 'just do it and I don't want to know everything' type. So I didn't ask. Thanks!!

I think they were actually large. The doctor had a way to measure to find the ideal size. I am very happy with the results.

Wow, you look great! How long b4 you could go out in public? I'm considering cheek implants and need to plan to take off work, thoughts? Did it change your smile, nose or any other features? Can you feel them? Thanks, and sorry for all the questions but I've had a tough time finding information on this.

I looked rough for about 10 days. Better by 2 weeks. No, no one noticed why I looked better - some thought I had a new haircut. And, if you want to have things 'not noticed' - getting a change to your hair is a great 'cover up'. I got my hair cut a bit shorter and people said, - wow that new hair cut really works for you!" LOL. I cannot feel them, though my cheeks had a bit of an ache from time to time and now, rarely. Not a problem. I think this was a very worthwhile procedure and am very glad I went for it.

Wow, you do not look half your age! Beautiful before better after. I have seen some great reviews of this doctor. Thanks for sharing! Also, what is the time difference between your before/after pics (since there doesn't seem to be any swelling in after)?

These photos are about 4 months out. Thank you very much.

Still satisfied

Crescent DragonwagonNovember 1, 2017
I am still very happy that I had the implants. They have been life changing. I had a facelift last year along with some fat transfers. For those who think 'either/or' impacts or transfers, I have found both to be very beneficial.

Also, some people have asked about my skin. I use a product called True Science. It is amazing. I can almost tell by looking at people those who have the true science look. If anyone is interested in the product, let me know.

Wishing you well on your journey.

You look awsome. Do you mind uploading photos after your last procedure please? Does not the fat re-absorb? Is still the same volume of fat or it is reabsorbed?. When reabsorbing does it uniformly? Thank you so much

Also, what area did you get the implants? Apples of cheeks or the outer cheeks?

May i ask what size you got?! Im getting mine soon and im so nervous! My doctor said i can get a small and medium for assymetry but small implants seem so tiny. I have a flat midface area. Im thinking medium and large .. my doctor doesn't do customized
