Buccal Fat Pad Removal with Chin and Neck Lipo
ORIGINAL POST
I got my procedure done yesterday July 21,2017...
$4,000
I got my procedure done yesterday July 21,2017 with dr. Michael elam in Newport Beach. I def was nervous but I needed this so much that I was more excited to get it done. I'm swollen I'm on day two. Honestly I thought it was going to be way worse than this!
I felt nausea yesterday and they wanted me to avoid throwing up due to the stitches inside the mouth (btw these stitches dissolve in about 5days so No need to get them removed) ????????
If you get this procedure...stay in bed all day after surgery. I felt great as soon as I left the hospital and was upon down and eventually got really nauseas that lasted ALL NIGHT
LAY DOWN BUT IN UPWARD OSITION WITH FAN AND TRY YOUR BEST TO NOT THROW UP; better yet just stay in bed
Also DO NOT WAT ALOT the first da; that also contributed to my nausea. Eat light oatmeal and take ur medication and just rest. I learned the hard way. Due to my nausea I did not eat/drink or take any medication for the rest of the night because the doc did call me and informed me I will throw up if I did so.
This is Day 2 9:01 am so I will give you guys a update later and any more tips I have for you!

Hi I did mine over 8 weeks ago and my chin and neck are still sore. My cheeks are fine I'm so happy with results. And from the neck and chin lipo I'm still healing I still have minor pain I also have lumps under my chin. They were really bad at the beginning, but they have gotten better overall I'm so happy with you results. One thing I did Learn through this whole process is that I would never do lipo anywhere else due to uncomfortableness. I never took pain killers, but there is so much discomfort if I carry groceries, walk to much and get stressed out lol. My chin feels it. Wishing you the best of luck definitely worth it :).

I am so glad you love your results ! My doctor told me definitely within 6 months you should be able to see the final results so it gets better with time ☺️
Yes the lipo area are sensitive to touch!!
I didn't take pain killers either; i was very surprised at how little pain there was ! I cannot wait for all the swelling to do down & I can have a better look !
Hope you continue to recovery quickly!
