Cheek Implants 4 Months Ago. Left Implant Seems to Be Slightly in a Different Direction? (photo)
I had cheek implants 4 months ago. If you look at my photos i still have my natural look. however i have a question . the implant on my right side is good. but the implant on my left side seems to be slightly in a different direction than the right side because when i turn my tongue in my mouth slightly upward i can feel the implant but i don't feel anything on the right side. i guess it has been like this since after operation. I know that they may not move after 4 months. can the left one move
