I had cheek implants 3 weeks ago and i have seen the doctor 3 times after the surgery to tell him that one side the silicone feels so much lower than the other side. He does not listen. So i got an MRI as proof and one side is 1.5 cm lower. I dont even know if he did it correctly on either side cause the good side is protuding into my eye socket.How difficult is it to move the right silicone implant up so it matches my other side? what are the complications?
