Dear Alice14,
I am having the same procedure done, Malar Implant removal of Silastic (hard silicon) 4.5mm thickness after 10 yrs of placement. I am wondering if you had an extreme facial sagging or depressions left in the cheek area after removal? Did your surgeon perform tissue suspension after removal? I hope you are finally back feeling better after your surgery!
Hi Brangalina,
I am having my Malar implants removed due to an infection I developed recently. I am reading your post and getting even more nervous about the removal due to tissue sagging. Did you ever have tissue resuspension and if so, how did it work out? Did you have the initial removal w/out the suspension? I am also noticing that all of the surgeons I have spoken to never seem to have before and after photos which keeps me wondering how bad the sagging will actually be....any advice :)
Dear Stever,
I am actually having the same procedure done this Nov. 2012 and I was wondering if you could please tell me how your surgery and healing is coming along? Was there much facial sagging after the implant removal? I am having Malar implants removed after nearly 10 yrs of placement due to infection. I'm very nervous as I have been unable to find before and after photos and am finding conflicting information on the internet....
