It’s been 1 year, and I had non-fixation cheekbone reduction. Chewing gently became possible after a month. For me, it hadn’t even been a few weeks when I tried eating chicken (I ate a few pieces), and if I tried to chew too hard, I felt a slight sensation like my cheekbones were shifting out of alignment. So I got scolded by the doctor. I could open my mouth fully around the second month. At first, the contour looked like a completely peeled egg, with my cheekbones too reduced, so I was worried. After half a year, it became more natural. Everyone around me asked if I had lost weight. Pain was low and manageable. For swelling, you should expect at least a month including the minor residual swelling. Satisfaction is the highest. The scar on my face faded after over 6 months. Now it’s completely gone. There is some sagging. Very slight, to the point that only I can feel it?? I’m looking into a mini facelift. No regrets. If you’re worried about your cheekbones, definitely do it. It doesn’t change you drastically, and you become prettier naturally. The pain is bearable too, and sagging can’t be helped, so please take that into account. Additional—- The sensory abnormalities are all gone now, 1 year later. The sensory abnormalities lasted quite a long time, and the area around the scar that had become indented is all okay now too.
This review is for a surgery result that pursues a natural look.
