My cheek bones are starting to looking contoured which I love. Some days it looks way smaller and some days the swelling comes back. Is this normal for the swelling to be up and down? Also cheek dimples have started to form. They’re there basically but you can’t see them as much because of the swelling. I’ve never had dimples I love dimples but I just would like and opinion as to how they formed and also some help with the swelling.
