Numbness After Cheek Implants Six days ago had cheek augmentaion with pin now left upper lip and half of nose area with implant area numb is this normal and how long before feeling comes back?

A: Infraorbital nerve numbness is very common shortly after a cheek implant

You are likely experiencing a temporary change in the sensation of a nerve fiber known as the infraorbital nerve. This is very common after a cheek augmentation regardless of the materials used to lift the tissues. Generally, the nerve is bruised or very gently stretched and feeling takes just a few weeks to return to normal. Don't panic! Be patient and speak with your surgeon about this very common situation. Stay healthy!
