Porex Cheek/Jaw Implant Removal-Please Share

Thank you :)

Don't worry you will be fine

Did he do tissue resuspension with your ori's (midface lift)? I have not heard of him doing them without it. I have had silicone implants removed 6 weeks ago, in the submalar and premaxilllary area, and it hasn't gone back to how it was before, my whole face is sagging. I am looking at going to Dr Yaremchuk to resuspend my tissues,he is recommending ori's also. They don't tell you that once you have done the surgery, there really is no going back.

Hi there cstudent, how are you doing right now? Are you still thinking of getting it removed?

I also have been talking to dr. Y in Boston about cheek implants. That's why your post caught my attention.

Hi, I will PM you with the details. I don't know any of this for sure, BUT I believe ORI removals are pretty complex as they're porex, like going in there again could cause scar tissue and could potentially change the shape of the eye if the lower lid pulls down a bit.
I don't think you'd sag too much, but id be more worried about the internal aspects with porex.
You didnt mention what you didn't like about your jaw?
I'd say, have a consult and maybe see whether if it'd be better to wait for a while, when all swelling and scar tissue has resolved. If he could shave them down, I think that'd be preferable. Were yours custom made?

thanks for the reply. Who was this other person who had the complications? Can you provide a link. I think at minimum I will have to have them shaved down. They were put in to build up the tear trough however they have made my face appear fatter and my smiling makes it look even worse and I am a thin person. I know sagging could occur if I remove them but I might just have to take the risk. Have a consult soon so we'll see.

Hey, have you considered having them shaved down? I mean, removal is pretty risky - I've heard porex removal can have bad complications for a small no. of patients, even in the best of hands. Also, don't ori implants have to be removed through the eye, potentially changing the shape? I know dr y is very skilled, but complications happen, even in the best of hands. I've read about a person who's very recently gone through a similar (more extreme perhaps) course of action to you, I think maybe even the same surgeon.
If you say you look good but "miss your old face" then maybe you just haven't had chance to get used to the new you, either that or the implants may be a bit much (hence shaving down might be more appropriate if this is possible?!)
I don't think long term infection or extrusion will likely happen, I would be more worried about getting a revisional surgery that may put you In a worse place than you now are, I thnk you shuld just give it a little more time unless there is a real problem.
