You know what they say, go big or go home! Please see my previous review for info on my first cheek implant procedure.
After one full year, I had decided that my size XL implants weren't as big or as dramatic as I was hoping for, and so I decided to go back in, and this time, have custom sized implants done. The first set was too natural looking for me, as I have always been going after a fake/alien-esque aesthetic. I booked with Dr. S again as he is excellent with facial work, and seems to understand the look I am trying to achieve. He worked very closely with me to figure out the exact dimensions of my new implants. I feel like I'm in the best of hands with him when it comes to any and all facial procedures.
As I type this, I am almost 6 months post op, and I feel as though I have finally achieved the perfect cheek structure for me! They're large, very noticeable, and yet, they still seem to fit my face perfectly.
The recovery itself was a little rough this time around, mostly due to the fact that I ended up with a terrible oral thrush infection just days after surgery. I believe this is no fault of the surgery itself, just a bad combination of being on corticosteroids for my sinus issues, coupled with the antibiotics from the surgery. Ironically, the infection pretty much dwarfed any discomfort from the implants themselves. It was also better going in a second time knowing exactly what to expect from the recovery process firsthand. I should mention that Dr. S was super helpful with my oral thrush situation. He texted with me at odd hours of the day and night, and was able to prescribe me further medication which cleared that infection up quickly. It's great to have a doctor who is available at all times, and I'm very grateful to him for that.
I plan on returning to Dr. S in the near future for more facial work, and can't recommend him enough for cheek augmentation! Best on the East coast!

Well I was trying to add more than oneā¦
Well I was trying to add more than one photo to my review, but apparently Realself is having issues with that at the moment, so I was told to add the rest of the photos to this update instead. These are from November through March.

I'm curious, what's your job? All the cool dressing up

Thanks :) the only time I ever feel them is if I've slept too hard on my side, otherwise, I don't notice them at all.

May i ask how much projection your implants added? Like its dimensions and if its possible to upload pics of your custom implants/ct scans etc. Thanks and you really do have a kind of surreal look!
April 13, 2017
Thank you! :) I actually do have some paperwork with the dimensions drawn up somewhere. I'll scan them in once I find them. I do know they're double the size of the XL implants I previously had.

You should get that pillow by Nurse Jamie called Beauty Bear Age Delay...love it! It's shaped in such a way to allow your cheeks not to be crushed into the pillow while sleeping. I have it for my cheeks, I did voluma filler. I want to do cheek implants eventually.

Oh wow THANK YOU for that! That's exactly what I need! My wife and I were actually joking about cutting a whole in a memory foam pillow for my cheeks lol this is a much better option! ;)

Hi, you are very striking. I'm glad you are happy with the implants.
Did you get silicone custom or a porous material? What about the first set too?
I have been on a long cheek implant road too. Had silicone implants put in that were not fixated with a screw at age 23. After 4 years I was hit hard in one cheek and the implants dislodged from the pocked.
I had them revived 3 years ago at age 31. I have significant erosion of my zygomatic arch on the side that sustained the trauma.
Now that cheek is sagging medially and has no projection. I had a fat transfer and upper facelift 8 months ago but it did not fix the saggy cheek issue.
I'm trying to find a surgeon to either do custom implants or coralline hydroxipatite.
Trying to decide on silicone or porous ie porex or a similar equivalent.
I will look into Dr. S. How long were your first set of implants in for?
Thank you!

Hi, I'm so sorry you've had such a traumatic experience with this! I have silicone implants now, and the pair before this were also silicone. They were in for almost exactly one year before I switched them out. I highly recommend Dr. S he's been really great in helping me to achieve the look I desire, and he has a lot of experience with cheek implants. Best of luck with your journey! Please keep us posted!

Thanks hon. I've checked him out a bit but will dig deeper. Dr. Niamtu also seems to do lots of silicone malars. I also want to investigate coralline hydroxipatite. But so far I've only found BC Mendelson and he is in Australia. So that's out.
I'm still hoping to find a doc who has experience with it in the US.
