The first day or the surgery i wasnt swollen at all. The second day my cheeks started to get bigger and at the third day a little bit more. Its my fourth day of buccal fat removal and the swelling on the right cheek its only getting worse. I feel it very hard when i touch it. Is it normal? i cant move alot this part and I am worried. How much will my cheeks take to have the normal size again?!! Thank you
