Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Before pictures
Here are some before pictures and pictures of the fat pads. I thought I remember my doctor saying they were larger than average — close to 6 ccs?
2 week update
It’s been two weeks since my buccal fat removal and FaceTite.
I mostly look like I did before the procedure. I went back to my normal diet after a week and aside from my cheeks being somewhat numb and the sutures inside my mouth not falling out yet, I’m fully recovered. I’m wearing my compress for about 12 hours a day.
I have another check in with my doctor in 12 days (near the one month mark) so hoping I can see some early signs of changes by then.

Buccal fat removal and FaceTite went smoothly
Wanting to capture my thoughts as I'm recovering so I don't forget anything. I'm about an hour out of surgery so sorry, no pictures to share yet.
I'm a 29 year old male and got buccal fat removal and FaceTite (which included liposuction). I have a normal weight but my face has always been bottom heavy. I got 5 consults and all five recommended buccal fat removal.
Overall the procedure went really smoothly. I was worried and seriously thought I'd back out. But it was fine. I had local anesthesia and the pain/discomfort peaked at a 3/10 but even that lasted for only a few seconds. There's obviously some tugging involved but it's not painful.
I'm not in any pain but I'm also on prescription painkillers. My speech is a little off and my cheeks are extremely swollen. I don't *feel* particularly limited in what I can eat but I'm about to put that to the test with sushi.
Anyway, I expect it to get worse before it gets better so I'll keep posting updates and pictures a few weeks down the road.
