So Far Not Enough of a Change for Me to Be Happy About

Procedure was very quick....less than an hour. Given pain med and something to relax me plus they injected anesthetic inside my mouth to numb so I was awake during the procedure. I asked to look at the fat afterwards and noticed that there wasn't much fat in the one pile. I believe they had a pile for each cheek. Not much pain but lots of swelling. Swelling went down after about 10 days and looked how I used to. Spent 2 days on liquids then another 7 on soft foods. It's been almost a month and I do see some slimming on the mid side of my face but not the lower area closer to the sides of my mouth which is what I was most concerned with. I'm hoping that area will slim down but don't have much confidence that it will. I see the surgeon again in 4 days so I'll see what he has to say.

a little more noticable but not happy

Almost 3 months and I can see a little more of a difference now but the right side is still fattier than the left. Also the fat to the sides is still there which was my main concern. Regretting paying so much for something that didn't even fix my problem.

Overall for the price this was not worth it. Recently found someone else to do perioral mound lipo on the face and it worked much better.

I have the same problem. Can I ask you which doctor you found to do the perioral mound lipo? Did you get the procedure done yet?

Dr. Eppley in Indiana. Yes, had it done 6 weeks ago. Will post a review on that soon elsewhere. Most docs won't do this procedure or will only take out a little. My doc took out twice that amount for more noticable contour. There is a little lumpiness though that I hope goes away with time. It's still early.

Where did you end up going if you don't mind me asking. I'm in the same boat as you and I'm searching for the right doc for me
Do you have any pics you can share?
