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.

Well I was trying to add more than one…
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.
Cheek Implants With Dr. Slupchynskyj Round 2!
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!
