I was never happy with my chubby face. No matter how much diet and exercise I did my cheeks were chubby. I am very fit but I had fat cheeks. Searching on the internet I found that buccal fat pad removal was the solution for me

I interviewed with multiple doctors and I decided to go with Dr. Mesa. Besides his impressive credentials (Harvard trained!), his great results his bedside manners and care surpasses by far the other doctors I consulted with.
Surgery was very easy. It was done under local anesthesia and I felt nothing. I was completely awake during the procedure. I couldn't believe I had no pain and I was awake while getting surgery. Recovery was fat. I am extremely happy with my new face. I love posting selfies in Instagram . My new model-like face now matches my fit body.

Welcome to the community and thanks so much for offering your opinion of your doctor.

It would be great if you could give us a little more detail about your experience, like your tips for getting good results, pros/cons, and info on the recovery process.

Our community members especially love seeing photos from before, during, and after — a realistic look at what they can expect. Photos grab the attention of the community and encourage more support for you.

As a community manager, I get requests all the time from other members who want me to to keep encouraging people to share their experiences, which are so helpful for others considering these procedures. So please accept this as a well-intentioned request from thousands.

I just posted a review with a lot of details (waiting for it to be approved) and I am very real. I won't be posting a picture either even though I'm very happy... it's a personal decision. I just don't want a photo of it on the internet.
