Do you really need that fat?
Just wanted to clear something. Many people think that it's wrong to take out fat from a face because with age you will need that fat. It's not the same fat!!! Not at all!
With age fat from the face really goes away (maybe it goes straight to belly or hips? :)), but we lose the fat from the upper part of cheeks - between nose at cheekbones. And this buccal fat lies in the lower part of your face. It only drops down and really doen't do any good. I posted a picture of that fat pads before, it's not the fat that you will ever need.

Hey guys! So for those of you who asked how I look now. There's a picture.
But!
Although I'm still more then happy with the results there was a little problem. I'm not sure wheather it's just me or many people have to deal with this afterwards. But the story is that my face kinda dropped. Like you know when you lose weight and you have all this loose skin... A bumer actually. So I did some fillers injected to my cheekbones. Not much. I wanted to look natural and like myself. So it did the trick and lifted my face so to speak. Now I'm extremely happy with my face!
If you are considering buccal fat removal and you hate your face like I did - do it. But only if you completely trust your surgeon! I'm very proud of myself that I did it! Now I look back at my old photos and realise that it was a right desision. I was not ugly, and people loved my cheeks etc. but I was not happy with myself, now I am. Good luck to all! And thank you for commenting!

It's been almost a year
Hey guys. It's been almost a year after the surgery. And I'm still happy that I did it. First several month I was like "OMG! Thank's God I did it!" every time I saw myself in a mirror. Then I just kind of got used to this image of me. But still once in a while I see my reflection and give myself a credit for doing it. And for not listening all those people who told me I should not do it (because after the surgery they were like "Girl, you look amaze!").
The only bump on the road I can see is that my face kinda dropped a little. But all I need is a course of face massages or some other beauty treatment. It's like after you lose weight and your skin feels a little loose. But you still know that you did everything right.
Promise a photo for the 1st anniversary ;)
