3 years later, and still love my face

WORTH IT$3,500
I don't even consciously suck in my cheeks anymore, I just smile naturally and love my face in any pictures. Buccal fat removal is one of the best procedures I got and now I don't have anxiety when I take group photos with people.

Buccal fat removal remains one of the best decisions I made in my life

It’s like a new face, but still very much look like myself, but an ideal version. Since I’m Chinese and some Asians tend to have a round face even when they are not overweight, people always comment on how “lucky” I am to have a chiseled face... and I always be frank and tell them about buccal fat removal and recommend Dr. Mesa. I have so much confidence now than then!

Can you share a most recent pic of yourself?
When did you see the real difference? I’m 2 months post op, and I don’t see too much difference.
Did u see a difference months later ?
I saw results like after 3 weeks? After the swelling went down it was super obvious for me.
I had it done 2x, still can see fat...very disappointed. Going back again...not done by the same doc. See some difference after 1 month.

27 yr old, Buccal Fat Removal

Chubby face gone forever! I always hated my face. In general I avoid group pictures (because I cannot edit them to make my face slimmer!!!), and it stresses me out whenever I go out with my friends because I’m afraid they’ll take selfies with me. Now after my procedure, which Dr. Mesa carefully took out all the buccal fat, I smile at myself whenever I look at the mirror because I love my face!

Sounds like me!
How is your face now? Do you recommend Buccal fat Removal
Yeah, I love my results, it makes me happy every time I see my own face in the mirror. I would recommend it. The doctor can control how much fat to be taken out, so you can decide how much sunken you want to be
How much did you take out? How long did it take to see results? I’m so scared of the pain and swelling. I’m doing mine Friday.
Are you getting your done with Dr Mesa? How much are you paying?
Can you let us know when you saw your final results? Thanks
