My face is way too full / puffy from submalar implants... want to get them removed. how long before the fullness goes back to 0? I got 3mm submalar implants with medpor 6 months ago, now i want them removed because they made my face way too puffy. Am a guy btw, it looks like too balloons on my face. Ive seen that people say the fullness stays after the implant removal. How long does that take to go away, and what else can I do to get the thinness in my face again?
