Male Buccal Fat Removal
I spent countless hours scrolling through the internet, trying to find someone similar to me. I am a 20-something year old, active male who is happy with his appearance, but my face has always appeared round to me. I decided to just take the leap and schedule a consultation with Dr. Ridgway.
I met with Dr. Ridgway and he examined my facial structure to see if I would be a good candidate for the procedure. He was extremely genuine and I believe he would have told me no if he if though the procedure was not a good idea for me. But, he thought the procedure would produce my desired outcome. There was no pressure and I went home to contemplate whether I wanted to move forward.
After a few days, I decided I wanted to continue with the procedure! From start to finish, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I was really nervous for the general anesthesia because it was my first time being put under, but it was so low-key and relaxed. I went back, talked to the staff while the anesthesia was administered, and woke up in what felt like 2 minutes. I had two tiny incisions on the inside of my cheek. The recovery time was practically non-existent. I felt great later that day and was out socializing the next day. My face was a little swollen, however, no one seemed to notice (at least no one said anything).
Now, 3 months later, I am ecstatic with the results. My face appears much slimmer in a natural way. The procedure flattened my cheeks without giving my face a gaunt, shallow look.
If you are on considering this procedure or on the fence, I recommend at least meeting with Dr. Ridgway! My experience was nothing short of amazing.
