Getting deeper

WORTH IT$1,500
As they heal they appear to be getting deeper. I removed my pictures but if interested I will inbox you. I am having an acne like breakout on both sides of my cheeks around the incisions. Quite unusual as I don't normally suffer from acne. They look much more natural, and I am very pleased!!!!!!

Really looking forward to future updates. I'd really appreciate it if you could inbox me progress pictures!
I went to the consultation with him for dimpleplasty and have been going back and forth on whether or not I should do it. Are you happy with the results? I'd love to see your pictures! I read a review on Yelp that said they went to him in 2016 for dimpleplasty and were left with just big creases in their cheeks. That would be a nightmare for me. I'm 40 and I'm not looking to put big creases or lines anywhere! If it actually turned out to look like natural dimples though I would be ecstatic!
I'm interested to see pics. Can you DM me
Hi can you send me your before and after. I am considering this doctor. Thank you

Getting better swelling's gone down

So their softening and looking more natural. I do think I may go for a revision next year to make them a bit deeper. I have to smile really hard for you to see them. I have a bit of scarring on my left cheek that looks like of like when you scratch your self and the scab comes off before it's ready. That just needs time for the color to come back. I still have the lumps in my cheeks but they get smaller each day. I also have numbness in my right cheek, doesn't really bother me though, I'll see how long it will take for the feeling to return if ever. Overall still pretty happy with my experience.

Possible infection

My left side has been healing wonderfully, pretty much flat and no pain.....my right side however is another story. It was continuing to swell and became hot to the touch and my face res red in that area. I happened to to have 2 bottles of different antibiotics from different families and started taken them. I have still been putting ice on it. About 45 mins ago I was sitting down and had a weird feeling and taste in my mouth. I went and spit it out, and what I'm guessing was some kind of mix of pus, and old blood came out. I looked in my mouth can't figure out where it's coming from but I'm assuming I had an abscess I didn't know about. I gargled with peroxide, and salt water, and some medicinal mouth wash. It's starting to feel better though now that some of that pressure has been relived. I'll continue with the antibiotics, as I believe it to be working. Will update in a few days
