Update
Much needed update
I really like the results, everything was a subtle positive change to my face. A few things I took away and learned from the procedure that I think everyone should follow:
1) post-op care is important. Having a boyfriend or loved one help you with positive thoughts and affirmation helps tremendously
2) I would only do 2 surgeries at once. Doing 3 and onward are fine, but makes things much harder. Not only are you asking the surgeon to put in a lot of energy in doing these three, the recovery is hell and afterwards you don't really know 100% which surgeries affected what. By doing 2 or less, you get to isolate the changes you want and can track the results more concisely.
3) I am 100% going to get more surgery from him. I like everything he does, I went and got tiny jaw implants put in near my chin and I like it so much (and recovery was so easy) I will probably get implants put in all the way to the back of my jaw by February or march since I liked it so much.
5 months
It is surprising how much more swelling has gone after the 3 month period (it is almost five months now). My left side is still a bit uncomfortable with the cheek implants, but I've stopped touching it and feeling around it this last month which has significantly increased the healing time. I think it really does take about a year to completely heal. The right side is perfect and normal so still waiting for the left to catch up.
I really like the results, even if my left cheek stays uncomfortable forever I wouldn't change anything. He didn't do anything very drastic and I feel my looks and special features on my face were enhanced rather than covered up or completely altered.
Provider Review
I am grateful that he did not permanetly damage me like others but for a long time I was in-denial about what really happened to me. At only 20 years old, he convinced me to do major procedures that I did not need. The cheek implants I got always bothered me, and I felt my left side constantly had a sharp nerve pain whenever I smiled. I eventually was able to get them removed, but he should have never suggested those surgeies in the first place. I already had big cheeks. My chin was fine. Something subtle would have been fine. I felt he was dismissive when I tried to tell him multiple times something was not right in my face. Even the genioplasty to this day, feels really tight. I have spent nearly 20k reversing things that were done and finally in a decent place.
