Ok! So my left swollen side is still swollen but more presentable lol I read around here fat fillers takes from 3 to 6 weeks to stop looking swollen so I'm all happy I'm about a week and a half and it totally looks waay better than how it used to look 5 days ago. As for recovery, I've already gone and photographed a wedding.! I still feel some stiffness when chewing, more on the left side, but this feeling is less than what I had om the first days so I'm waiting for my next doctor appointment to see if it still lingers and have it checked. Here are some pics of my current state lol

You look beautiful! I am 3 weeks post and more swollen on one side as well. I read this is because they have to put in the implant one side at a time, and the first side goes in deeper to fit through the small incision. How is your smile? I still cannot lower my bottom lip when I smile

Holy smokes Luna, your chin is hot! lol My left side is swollen because my bone on that side is "sunk" and when you looked at me from profile or 3/4 instead of a curve (my face is oval shaped) there was just a straight line, something like this \_) (yeah, weak genes!) the doctor put some fat to "create" a more curvier line so both my sides looked even. It takes from 3 to 6 weeks for the fat to stop looking swollenish. I have the same trouble like you when smiling, my lower lip it's going upper than usual. I've read somewhere it takes up to three months for the smile to start looking the same way as before. Let's be patient! :)

1st follow up
Today I went to the doctor's office and I got my stitches removed, and my scar is doing great! Some friends even said it looks like a smiley with attitude lol!
Follow up instructions and a second check in two weeks.
Somebody asked me if this had been a painful recovery. Not at all! I really have not felt pain, just stiffness/numbness in some areas. As of now I feel a small "burning" sensation in my neck area where the lipo was done, and If i touch it with my finger Is like if I still had anesthesia on it, numb, estrange, like it's there but it isn't.
I was actually pretty bored for the first 3 days when I was told to chill and rest (I'm kinda a workaholic). That and not being able to chew has been what I've found the hardest to endure.
I will post an update again next time when my left cheek looks better! Thanks everyone for their kind messages, I am really happy with my results so far!

5 days after
After days of back-neck pain (fixed with some Lonol and correct my posture with pillows) I'm back! The most frustrating issue these past days was not able to chew food, and believe me I'm ready for some "real" food! I got the surgery bandage off and I can finally feel all my neck!
I feel my profile is more much balanced now, the results so far are something between my expectation and my thrilling area, very happy about it!!
However... Dun dun dun... when you look at me on the front... It's like I got a wisdom teeth removed. My left side is super swollen. This is because the doctor put some fat on my jaw to make it look curvier, and actually I dig how it looks 3/4 but it's definitely swollen when you see me face to face.
My nurse friend, doctor and doctor assistant have told me that is normal, so i'm not freaking out (now).
Tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment and I'll let you know how it went!

how pretty you look, keep in mind that almost a year is needed for total healing and for the jaw to take it's final shape. just be patient, you look beautiful.
I remember you said you would be getting your implant soon, how's it going?
