Help with fluid filled malar edemas (Photo)

April 2, 2016
Asked By:melbgpo in Australia, AU

I had a facelift with coral cheek implants 3 months ago. I immediately developed malar edemas on both cheeks. They go away when I lie down sleeping but come back in the morning when i get up, no doubt due to gravity. Is this permanent or will they resolve in time? Can anyone please advise what I may do to make them go away.
