I Finally Have Cheekbones!
I am exactly 3 weeks post-op from my buccal fat removal with Dr Hessler and could not be happier with my experience. The surgery itself was really easy and I felt no pain during. The worst part was just the IV insertion because I hate needles. I felt like I just took a nap and woke up and was ready to go home.
I did have some minor soreness and pain in my cheek area around the incisions, which is normal and I just iced and took Tylenol. The soreness went away in a few days. The recovery overall was very easy and I had no complications. My nurse also made sure to call me almost everyday after the surgery to check on me.
I'm only 3 weeks post-op so I have to wait at least a couple months for the residual swelling to go down, but I can already see results. My cheekbones are actually noticeable now and I have a more defined contour, so much so that it looks like I contoured my cheeks with makeup naturally. I can't wait to see my full results in a few months!
