I had surgery with a doctor who performs cheekbone surgery on hundreds of people a year. They’ve done thousands... When I was getting surgery and consultations, there were quite a few people who had had cheekbone surgery, were there to get it, or had just finished it.. It’s a fairly well-known place. To tell you the result first, I want to go back to before the surgery.. My impression got worse, I look older, and my face looks darker. This isn’t just an emotional judgment, objectively, after the surgery, the area under my eyes sagged. I thought, this must be the cheek sagging I had heard about in reviews. Well, for about half a year after surgery, because of the swelling, it at least looked somewhat okay, but that was secondary, and they said it seemed like inflammation had developed... That’s what they always say when surgery goes wrong. It’s an unusual case.. It’s the patient’s fault.. A grain of rice may have gotten in... After surgery, they said it seemed like inflammation, and if it was a secondary infection, it would be a really serious problem. I was given antibiotics for over a month, took medication at home, and took a whole day off work to get several bags of strong medication by IV drip. Even so, the inflammation did not get worse, and luckily it improved. But my health deteriorated, so I quit my job and was taken to the emergency room several times.. Well, if you read this, you might think, oh my, what a quack! Which hospital was that? But they are a perfectly licensed specialist, and it seems there are people here who had it done without side effects. Case by case... If I had known that fact, could I have entrusted my face to a gamble like this... No, I wouldn’t have. Now several years have passed and all the swelling has gone down. The cheekbones did go in... but there is a sunken step-off deformity. They say fat needs to be grafted here, but I’m worried about my health and afraid inflammation might happen again, so I don’t even go near that area... And the cheek sagging they said would absolutely never happen. There is a “dissection” area, so how could there be none? It is 100% there, and I look much older. The front cheekbone area under the eyes is bound to sag. I saw many negative posts and agonized over it before doing it..... It would be better to gain weight, or get fat grafting to softly improve your impression. Based on my experience and from reading many reviews, cheekbone reduction is still not a complete surgery. This is not something I wrote right after surgery, angry and appealing to emotion.. I felt many things after having this surgery. I’m posting this hoping it will be of even a little help to those who are agonizing over it like I did several years ago...
