I need a second opinion. The DR put in 1400cc's per cheek, which I feel is way too much! He says it's because I'm 5'10 w/a large frame. People make fun of me for it, I'm so self conscious about the amount of comments, stares, dirty looks, laughter about how fake my butt looks that I can't leave the house w/out anxiety.

Or Lipo?
