I Got Midface Implants (With a Mini Lift)?

3 weeks ago and they look too big. doctor went with med after initially saying small. i took his advice. is three weeks more really going to make that much difference in the swelling and appearance? my overall goal was to look like me, just refreshed. this looks too noticeable. my friends all wonder why my face is so big. and i'm getting withdrawn. not all all want i wanted from this. mini lift is awesome! wonder if i should have gotten only that. i'm 49 btw. do i just need to be more patient?

Swelling After Facial Implants

After insertion of facial implants, patients will experience a great degree of swelling that typically takes up to 2-3 months to completely resolve. I suggest you be patient and allow the swelling to subside. If you still are not satisfied they can be removed, so no need to worry that the effect is permanent, because it can be reversed. Good Luck

3 Weeks after Cheek Implants and Minifacelift

The combination of a facelift and cheek implants can create a great deal of swelling particularly at the cheek level. The swelling may persist for 6 weeks or more.
