Hey guys, so it's been a little more than a month since my surgery. The doctor had a scheduling conflict, so I have not had my follow up appointment yet but I believe it is scheduled for this week. To summarize, everything is great and I'm super happy. I only have one complaint which is that there is a small dent/dimple/strange thing on my left cheek but it isn't very noticeable, and I can deal with it if it is here to stay. I think it is a result of the buccal fat removal, but I will be sure to ask about it at my appointment. Posting a few more pics for those who have asked. Please excuse the lighting, it's not great LOL

It's hard to believe that it's only been 23 days. It definitely feels like longer. I am going to post some pics. My bruising is finally gone and the swelling has gone down considerably. My only real concern at this point is the jowl area. I don't know if that area is still swollen or if it's just fat and skin that got left behind and are here to stay. I wish that the jaw line was tighter and there was no saggy jowl, but over all I am very happy with the results of this procedure and I am hopeful that there maybe even a little bit more improvement still yet to come.

Omg you look great! I did weight loss surgery and even though I have lost weight, my double chin is just like sitting there. Your story and pictures are inspirational to me. Wish you great recovery.

I had chin and jowl lipo yesterday. I feel my confidence is now through the roof! I already see a dramatic difference. It can only get better. I think I'll be having the botox injections in my masseter jaw muscles to diminish my square jaw line and round and soften my face. I can't wait to heal! Your results look amazing!

Nice! How's your recovery going?
August 1, 2017
The recovery is going great! I think in about 5 days no one would ever notice anything different on my face (all bruising had resolved by then) and as of right now I think not a huge difference because it's probably still healing and still a little swollen, so it may look like nothing really has changed. I barely have any numbness or feel anything when I massage my neck and chin. I think i'll have to wait couple more months to wait for sort of close to final results. You look amazing!

Thank you, and I see a definite difference in your before and after!! You're lucky--I had EXTREME bruising, still not gone!! But it's much better now and no longer visible with make up. I really hope that results keep coming--I have definitely improved and it was totally worth it, but I'd love for my jaw line to be more defined..... I guess time will tell! Are you still using compression? I can't sleep with it on, so I wear it during the day (work from home )
