Hello, I had the Implantech Large Trapezoid cheek implants put in approx 11 yrs (I was 24yrs old). I am interested in having them removed without replacement for personal reasons but am worried after so much time that I will have significant mid-face sagging. Do you think this might be the case? If so, what can be done to correct it? Also, would you recommend removal of the implant only (leaving the capsule behind) or a full capsulectomy? Thank you in advance for your reply!
Taking out silicone cheek implants is usually a simple procedure. The capsule is usually not removed.
There can be a slight amount of lax skin but generally this is not the case. You can have fillers placed to add volume back. Good Luck, Dr. Taylor
I recently spoke to a wonderful plastic surgeon. I showed him my concerns, and then he suggested I would benefit from a "cheek lift and fat injections". I totally agree with the "cheek lift" part, but do not want fat injections. I am interested in cheek implants and a cheek lift. Do you think that most plastic surgeons can work with what YOU prefer and have more than one option in their mind?, and are ok with that?
In order for a patient to be happy, the surgeon must address the patient's concerns. I start every conversation asking the patient their reason for visiting me and my job is to recommend the treatment options which will best address the patient's specific concerns. There may be several options to achieve improvement. It is the surgeon's job to determine which of these treatments would be the best for the patient based on their facial structure, elasticity of the skin, etc. A successful surgery is when the patient is happy with their outcome. IF you like your surgeon, schedule a second appointment. Education is the key!
Because you are a minor, I would suggest that you discuss your concerns with your parents. The facial charismatics that bother you as a teenager may not be such a big deal in a few years. When the time comes, consults with a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon. Best wishes!
