WORTH IT$5,500
Stitches have all finally dissolved, and swelling has lessened. Hoping there isn't much more swelling left to go...I like the fullness, and am hoping they don't get any smaller as I wanted them very high/large. I have another post op with the doctor on the 19th.

Dr. S is a very open and honest surgeon with a great gift for facial aesthetics! He knew exactly what I wanted without my having to even say much. He listened and answered all my questions, and made himself and his entire staff available to me when I needed them. I won't go anywhere else for facial work now!

Hi, do you have any pics of how you looked with Radiesse? Just curious to see the difference. I'm trying to decide which way to go. Thanks! You're beautiful.
What type of implants did you have ? Are they screwed to the bone ? Looks like you had a good recovery you look good its nice to see some one happy with cheeck implants. I'm 40 and was told by many Dr on nose consults my cheecks where the true problem. They are flat as a pancake my left cheeck almost looks hypoplasiac. Ive always hesitated for 15 years due to seeing such negative reviews. I'm truly a candidate though. Did your smile change at all ? I always hear people mouth changes for the worse so another reason I'm hesitant
I was looking at your b4 & after, did you have a lip implant or did u get filler and if filler did the same doc do the filler? Thanks
Love your lips too!
How did the post-op go? Hopefully all swelling is done and you have maintained this look. You don't look swollen at all!

Everything is looking good! I believe the swelling is all gone, at least in my lower face for sure. Very happy with the results!

You look very nice, really. I am in 4th week and still have some swelling. Can I know if you have used medpor or silicon implants and if you have screws? Has the doctor told you to rest on a U shape cushion? Mine did not.
I have silicone with screws. He didn't mention a U shaped pillow, but I've been sleeping on one anyway to keep from sleeping on my side.
Silicon with screws, very peculiar thing
You look great!! Can you please tell me what size implant that is exactly? And is that a submalar implant or is it a combined implant? Thank you.
Are you talking to me? In case, it is a malar implant withouth screws size small
Yes. I was talking to you. Thank you.
Thank you for posting. Looking forward to more pictures. I am 28 and have thought about the same surgery since I was in high school.
when did you have your lips done. they look good. was it the same doctor. best of luck.

Hi, You look fantastic! Do you know by chance what kind of implant you received - Goretex, Silicon, or Medapor ? Also was it just a malar implant, or was it a combination malar/submalar?
Thanks! I believe silicone, and it was just malar.
Very striking ty for the new pics?
Thx! :)
Wow what a great word..striking.. That's what they are. This Isnt everyone's ideal because of size but you pull it off and it amazes me. Good for you :-)
Thank you so much! I like that word too :) I'm just happy that they came out looking exactly how I wanted them too!
Hi, You looking great both before and after.
I just wondering why do you wanted get high cheek bone?
I have high cheek bone and it make my face bigger, so I was searching to remove cheek bone, then I just find your review.
Thanks! It's just something I've always liked & felt I was lacking naturally. I have a really small and thin face, so getting the implants didn't make my face full in a round way, it just gave me more definition, and better angles. I'm sure you have beautiful cheeks!
My sibling has fillers done.But I've seen over the internet ,images of facial cancers from fillers(they say).Also some doctors refuse to do fillers as they don't think it's safe. So I still wonder if fillers can contribute,risk facial skin cancers?
I really couldn't tell you as I'm not a doctor. My own personal experience with fillers has been great though! I've never had any issues or side effects.
What are you talking about? That is preposterous and uninformed. Fillers do not cause facial cancer and the approved fillers are considered safe.
