This is why my doc recommended facial lipo, contouring and chin/jawline lipo. I wanted a more drastic look just like it sounds like you did. Def worth a check back! Happy healing!
thank you!!!
I’ve just done this surgery and in my case, one of my cheeks developed more muscle than fat because I would use it more to chew than the other side. This could be a reason why one side is bigger than the other but there’s many possibilities due to each person’s habits. Hopefully this helps :)
Good plastic surgeons say it is better to under do a procedure, than over do. Obviously, this allows for further work once you are used to your new look. If you are happy with less - great. It is much harder/maybe impossible to correct once you've gone too far. Look at Demi Moore.
Don't forget, the face has masses of nerves that play a vital role in smiling and all facial expressions and are easily injured. The same goes for blood vessels, and injury can cause strokes. It is easy to forget the warnings part that you should have signed prior to surgery. It looks like your surgeon has done a good job.
You can have a check up if you're worried about pain in your cheek to rule out infection, but remember bones can also bruise during surgery, and can be painful/sensitive for a long time.
I had neck surgery a year ago and was cautioned about the possibility of temporary/permanent numbness, tingling and worse. A year later I have some numbness from my chin to halfway down my neck. Oh well. My son had surgery on the side of his face down to his neck - around the same time. He has very sharp jagged stabbing pains still. You look beautiful right now - way to go!
thanks for sharing!!
Hi, thanks for the video! May I ask why it was a 90min procedure? Almost every doc I've researched says it should be 30min.
Hi girl! I’m not a doctor or whatsoever but I don’t know.. everything seems so off. The procedure taking 1.5hrs? The swollen cheek, the healing and still having fat on your face (which I think really looks good on you, but I understand you want to get rid of it so that’s frustrating). Maybe you didn’t have the ‘right’ experience? And not to make you feel bad or anything but I had mine done 2 months ago, full anesthesia (which I recovered from the same day because it was only 20 mins!), 1 day of not being able to eat solid food, literally no pain at all and started to see results after 1 week. I am saying this also for other people who are considering it and feeling like it’s not worth it. To me it was :(
Thanks for sharing your experience - glad to hear you are happy with the outcome! feel like there are so many different ways you can do this procedure. Fingers crossed I get the results in a few more months. :)
I saw 2 different doctors for my consult and they both said it’s a 30min procedure. The doc I went with only took out the pads that slipped out when he cut. I was swollen on day two but every day less swollen. I looked at the pic I took day before surgery and now (3 weeks later) and I do see a difference but I am definitely still swollen. I also was not put under. Just numbing like dentist and a Xanax to relax me. Took one Vicodin the 2nd and third day after surgery. I’m also concerned with Amber’s experience. I’ve never heard almost 2hrs for this procedure and I really can’t see a difference after 3mos. Scaring me actually.
Read the first sixe letters of what you wrote again
@@sassk7443 HI, I'm a circulating nurse in the OR and I think this doctor did not have much experience in this particular procedure. I would wait till all the swelling goes down and have a scan to see if he left any more fat in the cheek. It could have been that he was training another doctor and that is why the procedure took awhile. It should not have taken that long...
@@christinerona5765 who’s doctor? I’m one month post op and see my results already.
Id say dont feel too discourage on the results because I saw someone else who didn't start fully seeing the results until after the 3 month mark. The provider said it can take 6-8 months for the cheek to fully heal.
I got mine done a little over a month ago and I'm just looking like I did before the surgery so im waiting till after the 3 month mark to start noticing 🙏🙏🙏 fingers crossed
UPDATE: Its has now been roughly 3 months and my face did start changing. I feel and see more contour to my face but note that this does NOT shape the fatty tissue along your jaw. This changes a round shape head into a square shaped head. If you want a more define or v-line face then a provider will specialize what you need. I personally want to chisel my jaw bone down to soften and feminize my face more.
Thanks so much for letting me know! my fingers are crossed too :)
Im at 3 month mark and also not seeing much result one side less than other maybe taking longer to heal..hoping I do over the next 3 months
You say you still have alot of fat on the lower part where your jowl is and thats where the buccal fat removal should help but actually no, the buccal fat pad is way higher up on the cheek so it wouldnt change the jowl fat very much to get it removed, you would need another type of procedure for that
has the swelling gone down all the way now? and do you still feel the same way about your cons in this video?
I’m two weeks healed!!! I got a chin implant too while doing mine so I’ll hope for a good result and post. Mine was soooo painful I was crying
Hi, I hope you are well :) May I ask if you were in quite intense pain as well after buccal fat surgery?
@@petravass4564 yes I was in intense pain!!! I am 4 weeks now and I am ok now BUT STILL SWOLLEN
I want to do this because my face is super round but I'm so afraid it will make my chin more pronounced and give me that Jay Leno type of chin.. anyone feel like it really makes their chin stand out too much or does everything look proportional after the swelling is gone? Or do you have your chin shaved too?
Just had it 3 days ago under general anesthesia and the surgeon said that he removed quite a lot of fat. I did not feel any pain whatsoever and could go to work directly after the procedure. The swelling is very moderate and I barely notice it anymore. My surgeon said that I'll see the first results after six weeks and the final results after 4/5 months. I paid ~3k€.
wow no pain?? this is the first time someone has said this. I truly I hope I have this experience
It's been about a year -- how's it going? Do you see a big difference?
How is it now ?
Can it be done only at one side? My face right side more look swelling and imbalance
Hey I just did the procedure in turkey last month and I noticed one side is still more swollen than the other. My doctor recommended wearing a face compression with gauze inside putting some pressure on the buccal area. I ordered mine from amazon I will drop the link for it.

@@jalennathaniel6164 thanks so much!
Hi, how are you? Did you have a lot of pain after the procedure?
Hi Amber! Thank you for sharing your experience with your surgery. I’m actually recovering right now from mine. I also have a lump on my left side and it’s hard and not healing like my right side. I’m going to see my doctor again tomorrow and he’s going to inject a steroid so hopefully that helps. I hope you’re doing well continue to enjoy the results of the surgery. Wish me luck 😊
Hey Pablo, can you tell me how long it took for this knot to go away? I had my surgery 1 week ago and on the left side my face feels so hard, the doctor said there was fluid accumulated and that it seems to heal on its own
Im a guy and thinking about it for a long time. How is your face looking? Have you got a defined face? What are the results ?
Brilliant video both 1 & 2. You look great.
thank you!
You look great! Very pretty! Hold your head up high girl!
thank you so much!
You be look great, big difference.Your cheeks are not hanging anymore!
Hey amber ive been watching your journey with bucal fat removal. I want to ask have you tried to lose weight(body fat) through dieting? It’s helped a lot for me. My body tends to store fat in my face more then anywhere else dieting down and lowering my body fat helped push me in the right direction.
What did you do specifically with dieting? Thanks for following along!

My face is naturally thin/oval but, as I age, I started to enjoy the aestetic of full/round faces... they always look youthful!! Be careful with this type of cirurgies, because we all age and fat loss is one of the most ageing factors in our face...
I discussed this with my doctor in addition to jouls being a facial feature in my family. He approved of the surgery but it is very important to keep this in mind!
Where you pointed out that you want them less fatter, like in the front, it's where I want to remove too lol I hate to smile because it makes me look like a chipmunk ¬¬ and naturally, this area is very round/chubby on my face. But I really like your side. That's what I would like to have too. A little dept under the cheekbones 😍😍 I just think it' s beautiful 🙊💕
If you feel like you still have swelling and pain on one side my advice is to go back to your doctor or a doctor who specializes in plastic surgery recovery because you might have fibrosis, its common but easily treatable! I hope this helps!
thanks so much!
Just came from the first vid, so glad you shared your experience. This is a procedure I’ve been considering for a while. I’m a little nervous, I have two kids under three so idk how recovery will work. I’ll probably have to wait til they’re in school full time.
You are going to need to relax for at least the first 2 days. I was told not even to bend over to pick something up the first week. Nurse yelled at me, after surgery when I bent over to pick up my bag, He yelled "no" you have to squat.
@@sassk7443 did you see any difference after the removal? Did your face get slim?
@@World___________636 hi, yes it did. Honestly it depends on which mirror I am looking at. Some days I feel no it was a waste I see nothing then there are days I really see it. I also see it in my before and after pics at my docs office. I see him every 2 months for chemical peels and they always take pics before any procedure.
@Debsguzman who was your surgeon?
thanks for sharing! I think everyone heals at a different speed so maybe you're slower than some other people. Judging by how much you swelled, it seems like you're still in the process of recovering and not seeing full results. Keep us updated!
Yes I believe people heal at different speeds as well! Thanks for watching
Your post-surgery, swollen cheeks are how mine look naturally 😀😩
Time to start saving for surgery...
I doubt it!!! you look great in your photo, but if it's something that feels right obviously i support ya :)
I actually think you look notably different from before
I had chin lipo and buccal fat removal and I was barely swollen and it took an hour total for both
About to get buccal fat soon, was there a noticeable difference after the procedure? More contour to your face.
Very nervous
Wow
Have you considered doing an update video with before and after pics plus the pros and cons?
no because i dont have any cons.
lol you obviously didn't understand my comment.
Wow your procedure was 1.5hr😳! My procedure was 30min. I’m 3 weeks in and I don’t see a difference but my sister does. Still have hard nodules but they get smaller every day. Just anxious to see results.
Yes! Keep me updated on how youre healing.
@@AdelineTedesco how long did it take your nodules to go away?
How are you doing now? You should be about five weeks along… Did the nodules go away? I am two weeks in and I have nodules only on one side
@@TamkinSpice I have nodules the size of a pea on both sides but you have to push down to feel it. I actually go see my doc for follow up this afternoon. My left side you can really see a slimmer face. My right is slimmer but still swollen. Not sure is it because I eat and sleep on my right side. I’ll ask him today. My sister and I Skyped last night and she said she really sees a difference. No one else has mentioned they notice something different about my face.
Is your jaw got slightly tilted towards right side after procedure?
no thats just how my face is
did the ball inflammation thingy go away?
yes it finally did!
@@AdelineTedesco thanks for the reply!! my sister got hers 2 weeks ago and she also got that ball thingy on one side of her cheek 😞 did it go away on its own or did u get treatment from the surgeon?
@@spongebobsquarepants-fi4ei hey can you tell me how long it took for this to go away? I had my surgery 1 week ago and on the left side my face feels so hard, the doctor said there was fluid accumulated and that it seems to heal on its own
I think is good procedure but for middle age women or young but with fatty cheaks,otherwise face looks plastic
Your face kinda twists to the left side. Did the surgery cause that?
the surgery did not cause that!
That was just mean. Everyone’s face has some asymmetry.
I’m not sure if that was meant to be mean. Sounds more curious about possible side effects.
@@mycrazycuban-americanfamil8969 exactly ..
@@AdelineTedesco thanks
I just had it today.
How did it go? I’m officially one month after surgery.
How did it go
did you have local anesthesia? how was the pain?
Hi I am still waiting for ur response thanks
Have you tried Morpheus8 on that area. It worked really well for me. I also botoxed my masseter muscles which worked really good at relaxing and slimming the face.
never heard of it - what is that?
@@AdelineTedesco It's radio frequency micro needling.. Look at Dr Rajani's channel. I've done it 5 times on the face. It really works however you have to do more than once. It's a bout $600 per treatment where we live. I'm on 36 hours after the buccal fat removal. So far not a lot of swelling. Thank you for your post! If you have any questions write anytime. I'll be checking more of your channel out.
@@mewmew6025 thank you I will check it out!!!!!!!
@@mewmew6025hi, is there some where we can see before and after pics of your results? Thanks
