Almost 2 years post op!!

Before/after of cheeks

I would also like to add that I included 1 syringe of cheek filler to add volume to them. I recommend this to achieve a greater contour.

UPDATE!!

6 month update for y'all. The results do seem to look better with time and I'm sure anyone who has gotten surgery can agree with me that the waiting part SUCKS. Due to my age, I feel like there is still some baby fat in my cheeks that will go away in maybe a year or two. Not sure if it's greedy of me to say that I want more taken out :( I told myself I would start working out to help the overall look... But you know how that goes. Lol.
So yeah this is my update. Feel free to ask me any questions!
By the way, does anyone else feel like after one surgery we pick at other spots of our body/faces to consider modifying next?? I can't be the only one!

Post op- 4 months

Hi real self fam! It feels like it's been forever since my surgery and sometimes I also forget that I've even had any surgery lol. I told myself I would hit the gym and try to lose weight everywhere else so it can even out with my face but no success due to my busy schedule. :(
Any ways.. Here's a picture update. I have this little scar under my chin that's not noticeable and it feels like a tiny tiny pimple when I touch it. To be honest I wished my cheeks looked better. When I laugh or smile my cheeks are still pretty Big but maybe there is still some waiting to be done. My profile is awesome though thanks to the chin lipo. These surgeries compliment each other so I recommend anyone getting Buccal fat removal to look into Chin lipo too. Let me know if anyone has questions!
