Cheek Implants First April 1' 2014, Revision April 11' 2014 - Missouri

I'm nowhere near able to give specifics on this procedure yet I just want to start by saying the recovery is way longer then anyone told me or I read. I made the decision to have implants as I was told that or facelift would help with the volume loss and sagging of my cheeks. I figured a facelift is so much more down time but I did not realize how long the down time from cheek implants is. There are not a lot of reviews out there and I only found a couple that did not complain of excessive swelling. You need to plan on a week of hiding and two if possible. This is also the scariest procedure as far as outcome goes that i have had done. The swelling can take months to go away. I have now figured out that a lot of people who have had this can't out wait the swelling period. I also have figured out that the swelling if you have them removed is really long also. You also have to take in to consideration that you may have to have a revision. Mine shifted so I had to have them revised on April 11th . This extended my down time even more. I have been hidden out for two weeks at this point which to me is really depressing. I will update more and add pics if I can later. Not very motivated at this point but will hopefully get better.

I am only a little over four months out so maybe there is still hope. They say six months to a year before see final results. I pray that I am still experiencing some swelling and will resemble that smile. You can see in the pics above I'm still a ways off. Not sure if I can say at this time if I would recommend this procedure. I will update again at six months.
