I'm having my buccal fat removed in three days! No more chubby cheeks.

I have slight pains in my jowls and cheeks. I’m still very swollen! I apply ice every few days when the pain becomes annoying. The ice therapy feels great. There is a slight difference in definition within my lower face. But it looks a lot better than before. I’ll prob need cool sculpting for the bit of fat under my chin as well as a chin augmentation to finally balance my face.

I still have a lot of swelling in my jowls. Swelling under my chin seem to have gone down a bit (but not much). I’m starting to look like how I looked before the surgery. From what I’ve read... I should see final results in a few months.

Thank you for your review. I can already see a difference in your pictures. How was the experience with the micro lipo. Are you wearing a compression garment for it? I can't wait to see ur final results!

Still swollen. I’m noticing, with the lipo to the jowls, that I can really see my double chin (front and side profile). With under the chin, I hope that I’m simply swollen from the surgery. I’m praying that it will go down eventually. Another note: before the surgery, I had pronounced temples. They stuck out so much. I never liked putting my hair in ponytails. It appears that the fat extraction, maybe, included the temporal extension of buccal fat as well? I’ll ask the doc during my follow up next week. I’ve been applying ice to the affected areas and I’ve been taking the anti inflammatory meds. My face is changing everyday.
