Don't Do It! Gave Me a Chubby/pig Look After Fat to the Cheeks

As a follow up, I had microliposuction to remove the excessive fat and couldn't be happier with the results. My doctor said it will be 3 months before I see the full results, but even after almost one month it's a huge improvement and I no longer have the chubby look.

Hi Unoq: It's actually been 3 years since the fat grafting procedure, and I waited the extra years because I read that changes can occur up to 2 years. Plus, I didn't know about micro-liposuction until I came to this realself.com. I only went for one consultation and then had the procedure, I think it's only 30-45 min to complete, although they do use general anesthesia. I don't know how much they removed, but it completely changed my chubby look in the course of 12 days. I am still a bit numb in areas close to the nose, but each day sensation comes back. Plus, as I mentioned, I have no lumps at all, and it's perfectly even. It also helped make my eyes (tear troughs) look less hollow because I don't have the chubbiness anymore. Let me know if you have any other questions, I would be happy to answer them. I'm going to ask my doctor today if I can get the pre and post op pictures so I can post them.

Hi: I was waiting to post a comment just in case I had an issues with the procedure. However, I am now 12 days post the microliposuction procedure and cannot believe great the results look. I don't have chubby cheeks anymore! I wish I had done this 2 years ago, but couldn't be happier. The reviews I read about this procedure, from patients and doctors, didn't look particularly positive. However, I couldn't be happier. I don't have any issues with symmetry, or lumps, etc., which seemed to me a major issue. I had virtually no pain from this procedure and didn't take any pain pills. I had slightly swollen cheeks for 2 days, then I looked pretty much the same after 5 days, and then after 8 days the swelling went way down (using Arnica Montana cream and pills). I paid $5K and consider every penny worth it. I go for my check up this Thursday 5/2.

Not sure how old this post is. However, I had fat grafting to the cheeks as well 3 years ago and it made me look chubby. In my case, very little fat was absorbed after the procedure, so most of it stayed. I just had micro liposuction to the cheeks yesterday in hopes of reversing the chubby cheek look. The patches come off on Monday 4/22. I'll let you know how it looks.

Hi: Sorry to hear the awful experienc you had. I'm thinking about getting the same buccal fat removal procedure in Charlotte, and wanted to ask who your doctor is so I can avoid that person.
