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!

How long did it take for you to be able go out in public without looking swollen? I am also looking into a revision Bc I got extra small and want bigger ones for more projection but taking off too long from work is tricky. Did you look normal enough to go out after a week?
Hi, I was still a little puffy at one week, but normal enough to go out. I didn't bruise the second time around, so that also helped.
Thanks! Also what was the custom implant process? I want height fullness and projection and may consider going the custom route as well.
Do you know how thick your custom implants were?
how many mm were your implants? im wanting something dramatic too
Do you have MEDPO implanted in your zygoma? Or other materials?
Is it silica gel or MEDPOR?

I'm still hoping to find a doc who has experience with it in the US.
