I got cheek implants 14days ago, the edge of the implant is dipping into my eye hallow on the left side. I can feel it & tried pushing it down I been icing 24/7 & worried there is nothing I can do? The surgeon screwed them in & said this is all swelling. if their screwed in then how is this implant going to move down? I'm depressed and feel like getting them removed asap because I feel like my face looks weird.. should I remove them or do I need to have 1repositioned?

Answer: Appearance after cheek implant placement Without examining you, it is difficult to judge if your cheek implant is causing the bulging under your eye or if it is due to swelling. Since you had the implants placed 2 weeks ago, I would recommend waiting another 2 weeks to see if there is improvement. If it is the implant causing the bulge, the only way to correct this would be to go back in and reposition the implant.

Answer: Cheek implant Sorry to hear of your issue. Unfortunately, you have a malpositioned implant that will have to be redone. The only question when. I would recommend waiting until all swelling and tissue reaction is gone. You also expressed concern about your looks. That may have to do with the choice of the type of implant used. There are several different shapes each yielding slightly different esthetic result. All this should be re discussed with your PS.
