Do Cheek Implants Feel Like Natural Cheeks? My dr suggested i should get cheek implants to give my face more chiseled look. However i m little nervous about living with some sorta solid material in my face....so i am hopin to find some answers to few questions, how do they feel .. will i be aware on day to day basis that i have them? should i expect to give up certain habits such as resting my face(cheek portion) on my hands (as in sleepin in class)? do i need to give up playin hockey to avoid gettin punched on the face?

A: Natural cheek implants

Yes. Cheek implantsare very usefull for facial contour and can feel natural if they are done correctly.If they are fastened to the cheek bone they will feel like a larger cheek bone. If they are silicone and only put in a soft tissue pocket they can move a little with palpation. After healing you should not be aware of them. You can resume all normal activity including sports. Any slight asymmetry of the face should be taken into account out before surgery.

Cheek Implants - Tingling Cheek/ Nose/ Eye 3 Years Post-op Had cheek implants put in 3 years ago. On Fri night I kept getting tingling on my right cheek right below my eye. Was gone in the morning with a slight tingling on the right side of my nose. Went away all day. Next day bad tingling is back. There is a hard 1/2 cm bump on the inside of my orbital bone on the right side, touching my eye. Tingling R lower eyelid. Really worried. Do the implants need to come out? I'm scared I'll look WEIRD after having them out. Do people look normal after removal?

A: Cheek Implants - Tingling Cheek/ Nose/ Eye 3 Years Post-op

Yes, they should come out.

It sounds like the implant may be irritating a nerve.

The implant can be re-positioned or exchanged to maintain your appearance.

Of course you will need to seek a personal consultation to get an assesment.

Best of luck,

Can Cheek Implants Mildly Lift Pre Jowl, Corners of the Mouth, Etc? Does it depend on the size of cheek implant? Please let me know.

Fillers and Botox may also give you this , and possibly more noticeable effect without the need for surgery.
