10 days post op buccal fat removal

WORTH IT$3,416
The swelling has mostly gone down and the hard ball in the left cheek has almost gone down too. There are holes on the inside of both cheeks but so far no infection or anything. It’s still hard to eat though. So far I’m happy with the results :)

I am surprised at the price. It really went up. Looks good though.
Do you mind if I ask how much the procedure is?
i was quoted $3000 from my usual dr in Beverly hills. then i looked into mexico for $2000. then did research and found a place for $1500 in thailand. so i traveled to bangkok and visited the clinic and i was not impressed.. but after more research i found a place that was looked great.. visited the place and it was amazing! clean! professional! and best of all.. $600!!! had it done . and when i went for the follow up i almost hugged the doctor.. thats all he does is buccal removal! For years.. just buccal removel! he talks you threw the steps " ok now i will inject to make it numb, and now i will make a small incision, now im pulling out fat pockets on your left, and now im stiching it and we are done."
Hi, I currently live in Bangkok and had Buccal Fat Removal done yesterday at Asia Cosmetic Hospital. I asked the Dr to take it all out as I have big cheeks , but after I woke up from the general anesthesia and asked to see the fat, it didn't look like much at all which is disappointing. I will wait till it heals to see results, but if there's no change I will do it again elsewhere.

Where in Bangkok did you have your Buccal Removal done?
Hi, I am so happy you had a positive experience with Buccal fat removal. I want this procedure and am trying to find a place that's cheap to have it done. Where did you find a surgeon to perform buccal fat removal for only 600$ I would love to know, thanks.
I just had mine done with chin lipo as well and it ran me 1200. Feel free to read my review
Hey Victoria, I came across your post as I was considering going to Dr. Buonassisi for buccal surgery as well. I have chubby cheeks. I know a few years have passed for you now, but would you mind posting a before and current picture to see the difference it made for you?!
ORIGINAL POST

Finally Had Buccal Fat Removal

After years of wanting to get it done I finally pulled the trigger and flew down to Vancouver to get buccal fat removal done.
Procedure was quick and almost painless. Took about 30 min and got a decent amount of fat out. Right side hurt a bit but left side was completely painless.
Now it’s day 4 and my right side is barely swollen and I can already see a nice contour forming. Left side however, is not only swollen but super painful and hard.
