Asked By:wondering_1 in California, CA

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?
