I got the Buccal Fat Removal last year April. I opted for Dr Pakeman because of location and a few other reviews I saw posted. Day was surgery was straightforward and the staff members and Pakeman really are great. He even called post op to check on me. Almost a year later, my face is still swollen so I basically paid $3,500 for a swollen face and it still hurts from time to time. It isn’t as big as right after surgery which was HUGE, but I didn’t get the results I wanted at all!!! I also don’t have any feeling on the right side of the corner of my top lip. I can’t even sleep on my face because it swells even more. Wish I could rewind time....

Still swollen, I’m thinking my best bet would be to just lose weight overall which will help with it slimming down and try not to eat too much salt

Hey, I'm thinking of doing this procedure with dr. pakeman. Why do you think you didn't see results? How's your face now? Was it more swollen then it was prior to the surgery?

Hey I had the same surgery with him and I am sooo swollen as well. I don't see any results whatsoever and I was wondering did you ever eventually see any results?
