Buccal Fat Removal and Chin Implant
After years of hating my chubby cheeks and short/receding chin which made my face looked droopy and heavy, I decided to bite the bullet to visit SW1 to improve my features. Dr Tan and his team were patient, caring and not pushy at all - Dr Tan recommended that I could try fillers first as I wasn’t comfortable with surgery. I liked the results so went ahead with buccal fat removal and chin implant. I did the 2 procedures separately with Dr Tan between 2020 and 2021.
These were day procedures that lasted about an hour each. Prior to the surgery the doctor picked the implant and the nurses guided me through what to expect and the medications to take post-surgery. Both surgeries were rather painless. I was really nervous but the team checked in with me constantly and made sure that I was well rested before I was discharged. I was still able to take the train home by myself.
Post-surgeries there were a bit of swelling, more so for the buccal fat removal procedure. Had to wear tape for support around the chin implant for a week. The painkillers were helpful for 1-2 days and I didn’t need them after that. Would say the downtime was minimal and recovery process was easy. I managed to get back to work the next day of the surgeries.
I honestly love the results and how natural it looks. Dr Tan did a great job with the stitching too, so all was great. I am 1.5 years passed the buccal fat removal and 4 months post chin implant procedure. The implant just feels like my own chin. Love that I have a profile now, which was something I felt quite self conscious about.
Thank you Dr Tan, Amber, Phyllis and team for sharing your expertise, ensuring that I was comfortable and well taken care of me.
