I've had problems with my bloated face for years...

I've had problems with my bloated face for years that no amount of diet and exercise could fix. I wanted something that could reduce the size of my lower jowls, and increase the definition around my chin. I sought the advice of a few plastic surgeons and eventually landed on this one.
I don't see any results yet (was just completed this week) but will keep this post updated. Right now, it seems as if my face is even larger than before, and I am eating two jawbreakers on both sides of my cheeks.

No real changes. My face looks wider/fatter than before, and kind of gourd-like. Been having regrets/depression/feelings of disappointment with my procedure. My follow-up is tomorrow so we'll see what the doctor has to say, but I don't really see any remarkable difference in my lower cheeks or chin in terms of reduction

In my opinion you look amazing already! Only one week post and your cheeks look fuller. Your lower face has improved so much in a week but it will still be swollen. Still I can see a difference even with swelling. Also I heard buccal fat removal takes longer than you'd think to heal because it's a really invasive surgery. I'm sure in another week you'll see a more defined jawline and the swelling will have gone down more, hang in there :)

Hang in there! It's only been 3 months for me but I promise you, you'll start noticing real changes after the one month mark. The swelling screws up everything you see! Don't worry and hang in there :) just ice religiously and don't move your mouth unless you have to! Talking eating etc

Thanks for the encouragement! It's been a month already and I'm still not sure if I think it was worth it. Did you notice any difference between month 1 and 3?

from my view, I can definitely see a change. wouldn't worry too much because you look like a sort.

I can definitely notice a difference, but the response that I've gotten from other people has been mixed. I've noticed that one side has gotten considerably smaller, but my jaw and fat on the other side continues to make my face look uneven. I also don't really notice a difference in my chin "reduction." 4 people have told me I look the same and 2 have told me they notice a difference so :/

I'm not icing anymore, and my doctor has told me to resume normal activities. I continue to massage my face per doctor's orders though.

I like your face both before and after - cheekbones after look pretty good from those pics. What size implant did you get?
July 22, 2016
I'm not sure about size, but it was the first of 3 injections. I was told that in a few months, I could add more if I felt like the fat dissipated too much.

I think that there will still be swelling for a few months so don't worry, I'm sure it will all even out. It looks even to me, but of course we always know better with our own faces in the mirror. I can see a real difference! Your chin looks more defined, there is a more v shaped jawline. I think you look great.

There is a big difference u look grea!!! Dontvlet know one tell .... U do t I deinitely see it!! Your face looks thinner and your chin is more defined!!
August 10, 2016
You look great! Your injections gave really great results!

Thanks! I'm not sure how long it'll last though because the doctor told me (and I can already feel) that the fat injections in my cheek are spreading out. I'm not sure if I want to go back for a second injection or third ($1500 each)
