So five months have passed since my cheek implant surgery. I have had no discomfort on my right side it's only been my left with tenderness so far. But today I have a inner bruise like pain on my upper right area. It is tender to touch and slight swell. The bruise like pain especially when I squint or smile. Now that this amount of time has passed should I be concerned? Or is it something unrelated. My surgeon is Ina different county so I am worried. Please advise. Thank you
