First to say have the hematoma drained. I have a hematoma and letting a blood clot sit in my cheek doesn’t seem right to me. 5 days since my surgery and a big hematoma in my cheek. Going to get it drained tomorrow

Its been 3 days for me and im insanely swollen, idk if i have a hematoma …..but its extremely swollen

[@silverkitty2503]

my doctor said there were absolutely NO risks or complications also he said you have to remove the entire fat pad .....he also said that collection of fluid was normal

Something went wrong with mine but my surgeon doesn’t seem to know what to do. I’m hurting all the time. It’s only been 3.5 weeks and I’ve been to see him twice. I don’t know what to do when I went to see him and I think he hasn’t don’t a lot of buccal fat reductions. He seemed so confident before. He Botoxed my cheek trying to fix it.....but I’m still in pain.

3.5 weeks is not an indication. Wait 1 year before making an assessment.

So I just stay in pain all the time for a year before trying to do something? I can barely eat or sleep.

@@haileeh.9272 You are assuming nothing will change in a year. A lot of times, people rush to judgement in the early stage of healing when the final result is not final yet.

[@wackity.7879]

How is it now? Are you still in pain?

[@sarahsmith1548]

thanks for being honest

[@foxymija8211]

Does a hematoma always have to be drained ?

[@kh7834]

I have the same question! How was your recovery?
