Unsatisfied with results

ORIGINAL POST

Unsatisfied with Results

Initially I liked my results post surgery since there was still some swelling in the cheeks. I waited to write my review because I wanted to see the full results before putting 5*.After almost a year later, I unfortunately have to say that I am unsatisfied with the results of my buccal fat removal. I do not recognize myself in the mirror. The results are extremely unnatural and unflattering. I have spent over $4000 to permanently disfigure my face.I am more self conscious now, than I was before my surgery. I regret doing this surgery. I am completely disappointed and devastated from the results.

Your review and experience would help others more if you posted before and after photos that way they can make a judgement call if that procedure is something they want to go through with
hey im also from mtl and looking into getting this done could you maybe message me privately so i could see pictures ??
People will constantly tell you that you look 5 years older than the age they usually assumed you were to be. If you do get it done do not remove all the fat because it will not unnatural. I will be doing fillers on my face for life to get back the look I used to have. It frustrates me. It’s been a year now and I regret it
**do not remove all the fat because it will be unnatural
Hi. I am also regretting buccal fat removal. My surgeon removed all of it. It looks so unnatural. I am currently considering fat transfer. Has anything worked for you? Dif you tried fillers, did they bring you face back to what it looked like before the procedure?
Hi I just saw this. I’ve been doing sculptra and it’s helped me
