Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

UPDATE
Wow, its amazing reading all of this and remembering what I went through.
But, no part of me ever has looked back and thought I didn't need the cheek lift. I most certainly needed it.
The trauma I endured from this experience has stayed with me. I look at life much differently now, and think very carefully about every decision I make. I would say that my bubbly personality is back, but deep down, there is a part of me that never "trusts" anything too happy because I felt a deep pain once that I can't "un-experince."
The cheek lift healed, and I feel so at peace lately. When I do my makeup, you could never tell anything happened. I have more ambition. During my first year of college, I was so fragile and was trying not to overwork myself so my grades were low. As more time has passed, my grades have gone back to normal. I began putting myself out there more. When people compliment me, it makes my heart fill with gratitude.
I was reminded of this blog because I went to get some lip fillers,and the doctor suggested an implant to advance my upper jaw area. Without even thinking carefully about it, I was enticed, until suddenly I thought, "Are you f*cking serious; you know way better than that." And I know that had I not gone through with the cheek implants, I would have probably gone through with it carelessly. But I know that implants do not belong in the face (with the exception of maybe a chin implant).Anything around the mid-face or mouth area is just not how the face was designed to function. It will not look or feel beautiful. Having an implant in you feels weird. Natural is better. Temporary filler will lead to less regrets.
I don't think I'm ever going to do any surgery to my body. I may surprise myself, but I don't think it's worth it. Sometimes I think it would be cool, but most of the time I think it would be cooler to be with a man who loved me regardless. I know I'd love him regardless.
For now, I am beyond grateful for the way that everything healed and how far I've come in time. It is only when I read this blog that I truly appreciate the progress I've made, and the carefulness with which I make decisions now.

finally?
also i was reading back on my old posts and i do contradict myself at times... saying that going under the knife can have emotional motivations..& talking about people who have had complications from surgery..... and then i get a cl & talk about the other procedures i consider getting to fix all this.
theres definitely some contradiction there, and i do apologize, i guess im still figuring this all out and finding myself.
i guess i just hope u guys stay conservative with what u do, and always research and never assume something will be successful. play it safe as much as possible when it comes to this stuff. and just as much as u fix the outside, u have to fix the inside too.
after what i went through, id just hate to see anyone living with regret, or wishing that theyd seen their own beauty and worth before it was too late. i read a lot of regretful stories on here, so be cautious. use ur best judgement. thats all.

Placement part ii
ok i dont want to be responsible if someone is unhappy because they got their implants placed too "inner" instead of far out. all i know is that if someone had a gun to me and forced me to get cheek implants again i would say fine as long as theyre more inner cheek like my cheeks are now with the cheek lift; i would not have them placed as far out (wide) as they were before, because it looked masculine on me from front view. but everyones different and theres no one size fits all. maybe i just like it better that way because of how i do my makeup??? idk. but others may want width so just evaluate ur case individually.
anywayy.......... just do what u guys want but proceed with caution. u know whats best; trust ur instincts.
i know i said i wouldnt update this but its hard when u get emails and theres stuff u wanna address. i dont think ill have much more time to go on here though for a long while cause ill be in school. wish me luck.
