WORTH IT
Been a while, folks. Just wanted to update since there’s been major change, which is hard to notice when you’re looking at yourself in the mirror everyday since it’s gradual. I stopped paying attention at around 2 months post op, and then one day I took a selfie and compared it to a pre op one and daaaaamn, huge difference.
I learned that my face swells longer than some people cos even at 6 months the swelling was still going down.
TLDR, if you’re a couple months out and not seeing much difference, give it some damn time and let your body do it’s thing.

I got a dimple now, I guess
Something I noticed today : I can actually see my dimple.
Bit of a backstory, I’ve always had a dimple on my left cheek. It wasn’t really that visible though, unless I was smiling really wide (which I usually don’t cause it makes my cheeks look huge), and even then it’s hardly noticeable. But now, I notice that my dimple is more pronounced after having my buccal fat removed. This is something I kinda expected to happen since I’ve always thought that my face fat obscured my dimple, kinda like when your belly fat hides your abs (they’re both muscles, after all).
So hey, a bonus dimple, I guess. I think I’m gonna name him Frank. My cheeks still look huge when I smile, by the way. I’m hoping they will continue to deflate, but for now, here’s a picture of Frank.
Frankly (pun very much intended), I’m not complaining.

hey! i’m also 20 years old & considering getting this done too. i just have reservations about it because some doctors say that it ages you prematurely, since our faces naturally lose fat over time. and being that i’m only 20y/o i didn’t know if i was the ideal age for something like this. did u have similar fears? how did you get over them if yes? i’m so insecure about my cheeks but i’m scared of regretting this procedure if i get it done
Hey! Going into this procedure, I actually had no fear of premature aging. Like I stated in my first post, I have a really prominent set of cheekbones (think wide & high) and a lot of buccal fat despite being 112 lbs, and I mean a LOT. Guaranteed I would have jowls if I didn’t have them removed. I also looked at my family members and saw how they still have noticable buccal fat pads that didn’t decrease with age, so I think I’m a pretty good candidate for buccal fat removal. And even if I do “age prematurely” and have that hollowed cheek look, I know I’ll still look better than if I had chubby cheeks that droop to jowls.

Hitting the one month mark, I gotta say the results are getting better since my last update. Constantly looking at my face everyday, I didn’t really notice cause it happened gradually, but once I took photos and compared them, I could really see a difference.
I mentioned in my week 1 post that my left stitch had opened due to, ahem, me. As of now, my right stitch has completely healed and is back to normal. My left stitch, however, still has a bit of lump/scar tissue in it. I suspect this is why the results are showing more on the right side, cause the left hasn’t fully healed yet. Even then, the result still looks pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.
I’m really looking forward to the end of month two.
