Buccal Fat Removal [Before It Was Trendy] - No Regrets

Considered buccal fat removal for years and was the first cosmetic surgery I've ever done. I made a shortlist of a local plastic surgeons but cancelled other consults after meeting with Dr. Iteld. He assessed my face and concluded I was a good candidate for the procedure based on the amount of buccal fat I had, age [> 30 years old] etc. We also discussed chin lipo with Facetite for my jawline concerns but I wasn't yet ready to do that and felt absolutely no pressure to include with this surgery. I scheduled my buccal surgery shortly after and it was performed under local anesthesia at a hospital in a little less than an hour. I was able to take a quick uber home without supervision and really only needed the day of surgery off [a Thursday] but I returned to work the following Monday remotely. I was in almost no pain and swelling wasn't very visible - I wouldn't feel self conscious walking outside. My recovery went smoothly and I'm very happy with the results. Also everyone at his office is incredibly kind and helpful, I always feel welcome and well taken off when I'm there and the same was true throughout pre and post-op. Surgery June 2021
