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.

Had Buccal Fat Removal

I had this procedure done because I've always had super chubby cheeks. This bothered me a lot to smile and I could feel my cheeks when I talked. The procedure took about 30-40 min total and did not hurt at all (I was awake the entire time with my eyes covered, I got numbed up too). I was swollen for about 2 weeks and had to drink a liquid diet for the first week or so, but recovery was great!!! I have no regrets with this procedure, but with that being said I am 21 so I am not sure how this will affect my face when I am older (from what I read online I do not think that will make me look gaunt in the future). Dr. Patel is a great surgeon and I recommend him to everyone :)
