Yes it does look slimmer! Just wondering if I need to keep it up with botox though...
I do! I feel like it helps!
I think your cheeks look uneven..? One side looks fuller then the other side.
I’ve Always had asymmetrical on my face. My left is fuller than my right.
It looks a lot slimmer than before. A surgeon told me, even if you do facelift you have to keep up with the Botox for a v shape.

One month later from when I got my BFR

So I’m seeing a slight difference now. Pain has definitely completely gone away. Let’s see how it’ll look in a month.

I can definitely see a difference. You look great! Are there any other local drs you considered for BFPR?
Do you really see it? Maybe I just don’t see it. Yes, there are I did research a few. One is Dr. Afshin Parhiscar in San Ramon.
Autonomy wise, the BFPR address slimming down under toke cheek bone and found the mouth. Your chin is asymmetrical, I think some filler (or an small implant) can help give you the more Drastic look you were hoping for.
Filler in the chin*
I have a chin implant already. I’m thinking bout getting filler in the chin but dont know if it’ll cause m infection
It’s a little sore the first day, but I haven’t had any issues. I don’t already have an implant though.
Also — what made you go with this doctor over Afshin Parhiscar?
No I mean I have a chin implant currently
I understand — I’m saying fillers leave you a little sore the first day!
I saw the doc I used on RealSelf and he has good reviews and seems like he caters to Asians. So that’s why I picked him. I honestly didn’t know bout dr Afshin until after my friend told me about him. Otherwise I would have gone with him. Much less expensive and has great reviews.
I’ll look into both, thank you!
Oh got it! Lol. Have you gotten it before?
Np!
If so who I you go for fillers
Did you get it done?
Ended up going to LA and getting the procedure done this week! I recommend Linda behla in Mirin county for fillers. Can you share an update on your progress?
How did your procedure go? I had masseter Botox also so that helped slim my face.
How are your results a year later? Also from the Bay
It’s hard to tell. Since I laid her Botox in my massetter. That seems to help slim my face too. I just posted a picture you can review it if you like.

Third week

What do you guys think? Maybe cause I’m taking a selfie of myself every few times a day. I don’t feel like a see a big difference. Today was my second follow up and the doctor said everything looks good and I can finally wear my retainer and night guard. It feels weird wearing them again. He also stated I am clear to eat anything now. Woohoo!!!

I see a bit of difference, I heard swelling is quite different for everyone with this procedure. Do you recall if he took it all out or a certain percentage of it? Keep us updated :) x
Yes, it takes ALOT of patience!! He said he took 80% of it out. Will do, are you thinking of getting it done?
Yeah the only thing thats putting me off is some people say it can cause early ageing but most reviews on RealSelf state nothing but praise so im not too sure yet!!
Yes, that’s what I heard too! But if you do decide to do it. Make sure they don’t take all of it out. My face is very round and fat so I felt like this is the only surgery that would help me with those concerns. Let’s see how much of an improvement I see in a few weeks. Will post another posting soon.
Which doctor were you looking into getting it done by?
Love it
Thanks!
