New pics to come showing results of my self-diagnosed, self-administerd treatment....

I've been administering ionic massage treatments for the past 8 days. It looks like a 40-50% improvement at this point. I will have completed my self-diagnosed treatment in 3 more weeks. I expect great results! I share this info. in the event others needs some recommendations for similar swollen tissues, esp. this far out after treatment. Out of 21 doctors expert opinions none of them suggested this treatment. At best, I received a minimum of suggestions suggesting manual massage (didn't really help me too much in comparison) and ultrasound treatments (costly and undetermined). Most Doctors were suggesting further surgery even though I made it clear that I was still swollen, therefore still on the road to recovery. Lesson learned: It's wise, at times, to take what doctors recommend with a grain of salt and opt to be your own physician.

P.S.S. These comments from me are for the doctors. There is still swelling and slight numbing going on as well. Could this be playing a big part? When the swelling goes down completely will it help smooth things out?

P.S.S. I looks to me as if the lower cheeks need the swelling to go down, not to be filled up. That's just how it occurs to me.

P.S. I still feel I am still a bit swollen, could this be the problem? I just bought an Negative Ion massager. Would that be helpful? Or does it need to be ultrasound? When I manually massage my face, it seems to help. Shows promise if I am more consistent and had the assistance from a massage device. Thanks for your help!!
