22 Year Old Gets Buccal Fat Removal! - Mexico

UPDATED FROM Glitterbombb
6 months post

Wish i could change my mind

WORTH IT$350
So it’s been about 6 months and i pretty much am seeing my final results. My face definitely skimmed down which is awesome BUT if i could go back in time i wouldn’t get this procedure. The reason is that i still have really high cheekbones and the actual bone structure of my face is still round and large so getting my buccal fat removed just made the bottom half of my face sag. My smile lines are SO deep now it makes me look 5 years older and nothing against the surgeon(he was awesome) but i really wish i could undo this procedure. If you’re considering getting it done please think first and really think about the natural structure of your face and if this is really the right procedure for you.

Compared to other buccal removals... this doctor seems to take out large strips instead of little fat clusters. I’m truly sorry you wish you had not done it. You look beautiful (not that anyone’s option but your own matters) but from the buccal fat pictures it’s very obvious that this doctor is taking out toooo much.
I'm sorry, but from what I see you look good! I don't see sagging.
thank you so much for updating us. I come back periodically to see if any people who’ve had this procedure have change their minds. I’ve been advised by two doctors not to do this for the very reasons you state, that it will look great at first but then age me. I really appreciate it. please look into the deeper and lower lasting fillers that generate new collagen growth, you may be able to correct this! best of luck. by the way, i know someone amazing for this in NYC. nurse Lynne Wotjon. best.
sorry for may typos, i have a Spanish keyboard and the when I try to type in English sometimes the wrong words appear. I meant to write: long lasting fillers. best of luck.
did he remove all or just a portion??

Update

Hi everyone! Just wanted to give an update and say it’s been exactly 3 weeks since the procedure! The swelling took about 4-5 days to go away. Right now swelling and tense-ness is completely gone! I do notice VERY slight indents on my cheeks but not noticeable enough to show on pictures. From what I read from others experiences, it takes 1-3 months to see real results. I will post pictures as soon as I see results so please be patient!
