  • 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: Two Years Later

So it’s been about two years and two months since my surgery. How am I feeling? Great. Would I do it again (if I could)? Heck, yeah! I’m still kicking myself for not doing this sooner. If you’re Asian, I highly recommend it, debate no more: find yourself a good doctor close by and get this done. It’s the most subtle change yet it’s made a huge difference — when I first went back to work people kept commenting that I looked like I’d lost 10lbs!
No, it’s not entirely symmetrical but only because I wasn’t entirely symmetrical to begin with. Yes, it will make you seem like you’ve lost weight so take that into consideration if you already have a slim face. I would also highly recommend going with a facial plastic surgeon and not a general/body PS only because the facial PS only specializes in the face. I felt better knowing that about my own PS.
I’ve posted a compilation of shots to show what the angles look like. The best $3300 I’ve ever spent.

Day 13 Buccal Fat Removal

So basically two weeks post-surgery. Infection is almost cleared up, the hole on the right is about 95% healed and my face feels normal. I have started fully yawning again (as in full open wide mouth movement), started chewing full out now and taking in the comments from
People
Who saw me 2-3 weeks ago saying "your face looks slimmer" :) yay. This was the best 3k I've spent.

Day 6 continued

Here's a pic of my right side before I squeezed out the puss from the infection

Great office, great doctor. Simplifies things for you. If only he'd let me get more procedures done! :) A good doctor will tell you no :)
