I am seeing great results after only one week. My doctor told me this is very unusual. I saw the pictures of what he took out. There was much more fat than the average person, confirming why I looked so out of proportion. Dr. Mele tells me could be up to 3 months to see my lower cheeks shrink. I'm already thrilled with my results. I put on blush for the first time in my life.
If you are a candidate, procedure is life changing!
Money well spent.

Dr. Mele tells me one side was tougher to work with. My face has evened out now. So thrilled with the results! I looks proportionate for the first time in my life!

Beginning to feel better

Even though I'm still a bit swollen, I can feel where my cheeks are going to be thinner. My sister said she saw results after a week. I can actually see how it's possible.

The hardest part of surgery was getting the IV in. They had to go in my neck.
Other than that, I came out of the anesthesia wide awake and my cheeks felt thin! While I was under, I had a dream I was posting Yelp reviews. No nausea. My face began to swell immediately. Pain was about a 7 last night. It's now about a 4.
