WORTH IT$3,000
I've been a horrible reviewer and forgot to update my review! I want to say I "fully" healed around November/December. I had a lot of friends comment on how slim my cheeks are the past few months and I couldn't believe it was still healing. It's a good thing since I was already happy with my results 2 months post-surgery and thought I looked slimmer, but the results were getting better with time. Basically, this surgery exceeded my expectations.
I couldn't find many recent pictures of me not smiling (I'm a smiler).

Post Op Day 11
My healing is getting better and better each day, I can't wait for the final results which can take up to 3 months.
My right side is slightly more swollen than the left but it's starting to even out. I went out to dinner last night and my friends noticed that I "lost" weight ;)

Hi, thank you for your posts, you look fantastic by the way! Even before op but even more so after :) i just had buccal fat removal last night and it's really swelling up right now like chipmunks cheeks.. did yours appear 'normal' after a week?

Thank you! :) Mine looked 'normal' after about 10 days, I would highly recommend to just avoid sodium at ALL cost to heal faster! I hope you have a speedy recovery <3

Day 5, back to work!
So technically, I was supposed to be off work but felt obligated to come in because my company had a big event. So I sucked it up and contoured my cheeks to make the swelling less noticeable. At this point, I don't have any pain and didn't need to take any painkillers yet was slightly swollen. Some coworkers casually asked if I got my wisdom teeth taken out and other's were shocked saying my face was really swollen, but I didn't notice it. I think the best part of my day was eating lunch because I was able to have a sandwich versus all the soft foods I've been eating. :)
Here are some pictures from the end of work today. Excuse the blue mascara, it was for a work event.
