Also... confirmed yesterday that although I was charged for buccal fat removal, it wasn't performed.
Met with a different plastic surgeon about my loss of lip movement and speech and when telling him what I had done he told me there's no way buccal fat pad was removed because there was no incision. So I was charged for something I didn't receive.
3 months post surgery... you be the judge!
Well it's been 3 months since my initial surgery and 2 months since the jaw implants came out and the additional chin implant came out that was put OvER my sliding genioplasty without permission.
I left the cheek implants in hoping they would define as the swelling receded but here we are.... photos from before, and after (today).
I am the same weight in both photos.
What do you think I should do? Removal of cheek implants?
Worried about sagging
Scar tissue
Risks and complications
If I leave it - scared of
Loss of smile function
Chipmunk cheeks
Low looking cheeks
Loss of proper speech (my mouth corners don't move properly anymore and my bottom lip is numb)

Missing the old me
Attaching a Before and after. I look so much older now. I actually feel like I look almost elderly with a sunken face. These photos are 3 months apart. Left before / right after
I'm looking for insight on at this stage (8 weeks post op) whether it's still swelling or whether my smile is ruined? It's so hard to know what is causing the ruined smile!
It is the huge cheeks that are pushing my corners of the lip down and giving me big gaps between my teeth and cheeks?
It is improperly placed filler above my lip (he filed it because it was a bit duck-like)
Is it just from swelling?
It's so hard not knowing...

Very patient and a total artist. He listened to my concerns and was very confident in how he could fix them. He suggested things to optimize my outcome and has been very helpful post op. I am travelling back into Vancouver in two weeks for in person post op and am hoping for swelling to be evened out.
