You look fabulous! Awesome results. Congratulations!
Thank you!
The results totally exceeded my expectations. Confidence renewed.
:)
Are there any other procedures that slim the cheeks? I only have much "chub" there, but I need something. I definitely cannot afford the $3000 right now.
Another thing that might be an option for you is Voluma filler in the cheek area. This could boost your cheekbone appearance and lessen the appearance of the cheek fullness. Voluma lasts about two years and is approximately $1000-$1800 depending on how much you need. I hope this helps....
Thank you BooBoo. Great advice! I'll look into it.
No problem! I wish you well and hope you are able to achieve your goal. :)
Thanks for sharing your experience! Would love if you could post updates if anything changes over the next few months to a year. I am glad everything went well and you are loving the results! You look great, both before and after :)
Will do and thank you!
:)
You look beautiful!
Thank you so much!
:)
Wow! You look amazing! This really enhanced your bone structure and cheekbones. I'm having this In a month with hopes for similar results!
Thank you! I hope you are happy with the results next month. Good luck, I'm sure you will be happy you had the procedure!
Did you have Voluma as well?
Hi, I plan to but I don't have the funds just yet.
So these pics are my results without Voluma.

3 Month Update!

Hello Everyone! I just had my 3 month follow up appointment with Dr. Mesa. My recovery process has gone so smoothly and the results have exceeded my expectations. I've posted some new after photos, as well as an additional before photo for people to see the previous fullness in my face as a comparison.
I am still planning to get Voluma from Dr. Mesa for my cheeks but I need to put that on hold at the moment for financial reasons. Even without the Voluma - I think the results speak for themselves and really attest to Dr. Mesa's talent and abilities.

Hi again,

You look gorgeous, every time I see your pictures I say "damn,how people can change just by removing the fat in the cheeks.
I don't really know what Voluma is but just by looking at your pictures I wouldn't do anything else (at least for now) if I were you.
Your face looks smooth,contoured, very pretty.
Thank you so much for your kind comments!
Hi,
I would like to ask you if during the surgery you were breathing thru your nose or the mouth?
I'm asking you this because I do have sinusitis and sometimes I can partially breath thru my nose and I have to breath using my mouth as well

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.
No problem! I was breathing through my mouth during both the bucca fat removal and the neck lipo. I don't recall it being necessary at any point to close my mouth and breathe through my nose.
You look Amazing
Fantastic results. So happy for you.
Mi name is Ana Ramos I feel very very happy with my fat bucal remove,with the Dr:mesa.
