on Dec7th 2010, i had extra large malar/submalar implants put in, today is the 25th of Dec, i am a male 40 yrs old in good physical condition, i had saggy eyes, and lines on my face, and my face was a little sunken in before this procedure, now my face is nice and swollen, not sure how much more my cheeks will go down from the swelling, i sure hope the ball look i have under my face will disappear, im pretty upset so far, will it get any better, because i have already considered taking them out. Thanks Ryan

don't go with this guy, he doesn't deliver what he says he will. Stay way far away from this place, since i was new to this, he told me the size of my implants after i had the surgery done, this guy told me i would love it, but i now have no confidence in Him, and i hate what i see so far, when i go to his office to ask him questions, he tells me not to mess with his lively hood. im so frustrated with my results, He did to me what he wanted to, not what i told him i was looking for. does anyone know how big xl are. Thanks Ryan

Hi Steve. Now that it's almost Feb, how are you doing?

Do you think that the problem was just the size (too big) or also the position ?
have you had your implants removed ? I hope you're doing fine;

Hello Stever, how is it going ? Did you have your implants removed ? I hope so and I hope everything went for good. Take good care of yourself.

the Dr who did the implant refuses to take them out, so i am having to find someone else, in Honolulu to do it, The original DR was Dr L in Lakeland Fla, i am so depressed, that i had to get a prescription for Valium, because this is very emotional for me, do u know if there is a minimum wait time to get them removed, i have an appointment on the 12th for consultation, the sooner i get these out the better life will be, i have never been so down in my life. Big mistake i made doing this. Thanks Ryan

Hi Ryan -- I saw your update about removal. I'm really sorry this didn't work out for you. :( Are you going back to the same doctor for the removal surgery?

HI Ryan,

Yes, I'm sure it is hard to be patient and strong, but I'm sure it will turn it OK.

Thanks,
