Cheek and Chin Lipo Destroyed my Face
So its now 4 months after my face and chin lipo. I always had chubby cheeks, so I decided to go in for a liposuction of my cheeks and my chin. And it was the worst decision of my life.
The consultation before surgery was very good - I wanted to do cheek, chin lipo and buccal fat removal, but the surgeon told me that he would suggest just a liposuction - but if I want to I could do buccal fat removal too.
I decided I would do the liposuction first and if it this wouldn‘t be enough - I would go in for a second round. I cannot say how thankful I am that I did not spend any more money on another procedure, because after the liposuction I am now left with asymmetrical, irregular cheeks with a huge dent on the right side. My chin and neck are lumpy, too and my Jawline is „wavy“ and saggy?
One of my cheek looks so hollow. And the other one is marked by a dent. Both cheeks still have some sort of „fat pockets“ when I am smiling, which looks very weird. And still - I think my face doesn‘t look that much slimmer and has no V-line as I wished for. I did go in to come out with more selfconfidence - and what can I say? I am depressed more than ever after this surgery. The first two months I was crying every day and hoping that this was just a bad dream.
The behavior of the surgeon at the beginning was not helpful at all. First he said that I should not look in the mirror for a week when in confronted him with the dents (which were there one day after surgery - so no swelling or scarring). After I returned after a week, he told me to not look in the mirror for at least six weeks. I was furious as he did not take me seriously. After another appointment three months after surgery - he knew my face would stay like that. So he offered me a revision surgery. But I am smart enough to not let him touch my face again. I stated I wanted a refund, which he agreed to - but this is still in clarification how much. And I have to agree with a contract to not do any reviews about him. (Consequently I do not publish which surgeon unless you mail me privately). Ah and he did not mark my face before surgery! Which I found strange.
I had now 4 consultations in total for a revision surgery. All surgeons told me that this is not an easy fix. One also didn‘t want to do a revision. I also mailed a lot of plastic surgeons, which did not want to do any revision and stated that this is the reason they do not offer facial lipo.
A revision surgery has to consist of microlipo and a fat transfer. Everyone told me that they cannot make my face smooth again, but they can just TRY to make it a bit better. I am so sick and tired of this topic, of looking in the mirror, seeing what I did to myself. Looking back my cheeks weren‘t bad at all.
I have tried to fix the dent and the wavy Jawline with HA filler with a very good surgeon specialized on filler. And he could not cover the dent. Now my middleface just looks heavier from all the fillers (4ml for 2000 Euro). :(
I am so scared that I have to live with this face all my life and I am scared of doing another surgery because I don‘t know If I can trust any surgeon again. I did my research and everything - and still I was disappointed. I am feeling so ugly.
Guys please love your chubby cheeks, every bit of it! Dont do the Same mistake as I did.
