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?

The fact that tingling of the cheek has started 3 years after surgery probably indicates that the right cheek implant has move and is irritating the infraorbital nerve. Hopefully, repositioning the implant will stop the nerve irritation with minimal change in appearance.

Tingling with cheek implants

TIngling may be irritation to the infraorbital nerve which gives sensation to the cheek and side wall of the nose.  The implant may need to come out or be re-positioned.

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,   Dr Siegel
