If I Could Give 10 Stars Not 5 I Would

WORTH IT
I went to see Dr. Khosh back in September and it was the best experience you could ask for! Actually, I was so turned off by every other surgeon I had met about cheek augmentation that if I hadn't met Dr. Khosh I would have not even gotten the procedure.
He is clearly beyond an expert at his craft, and manages to both have an aesthetic eye as well as... be a surgeon! Not only that, his bedside manner is impeccable. Just a few anecdotes to illustrate:
1. One of my friends who had not seen me for a while, a few drinks in... "Wait but you look SO good now. I mean we all grew out of the teenage years and all, but your face just... your skin looks like tight, and your cheekbones are like glistening" (not exaggerating the language and I swear I was not paid to write this!)
2. When I was getting ready for the IV with the anesthesia, of course I was nervous, so I tried cracking a joke and Dr. Khosh and his team laughed along with me, and just generally made me feel so much better
3. When I had a bit of wierd swelling on my stitches, Dr. Khosh gave me his cell number for sending him pictures and questions post-surgery. Not only that, he answered my swelling questions right away!
Also, Susan is wonderful. She is both caring as well as helpful - I could not have asked for a better experience all around.

^ me smiling, with my new shiny cheekbones

I had cheek augmentation (surgical), silicone implants on both sides. Unfortunately it's hard to share pictures of cheek implants without sharing pictures of your entire face! I'll see if I can upload some of just my cheeks.

You can take pic and hide the eyes and forehead. Can't really see the before and after. I'm assuming the silicone is hard. I wonder if same autoimmune issues as breast implants?

Requested pix - don't have any helpful before, but here are some "after" per the requests for some pictures! Trust me; cheekbones were essentially non existent before this
Just let me know for any other questions, happy to help

Thank you and congratulations! These were off the shelf implants?

Yes they were! He had a few different sizes and tried them to see which would work best. Believe I got the medium in whatever he ended up using

They look amazing! How long did the swelling last? And how long before you could smile again?

Not long at all! First week was like wisdom teeth, second week I could get around fine. Smiling felt “tight” for about a month but I went back to work after 1.5 weeks and was just fine. I’d say final results took maybe 1-2 months for it to completely disappear but 90% gone within 1.5 weeks

Sure but honestly it’s going to depend on your face structure and if you get custom ones etc so I would just expect anywhere from $6-8k
Happy to hear what a great experience it was! What type of procedure did you have? And would you be willing to share photos?
