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?

In the right patient cheek implants may be able to make the face look slimmer. But that would depend on what your face looks like and your natural facial bone structure. Cheek implants can give certain faces more of a V-shape but the face has to be naturally thinner to do so.
I have performed many cheek augmentations, with cheek implants, for over 25 years. Without photos of your face before and after the cheek implant surgery, there's no way to evaluate size, shape and placement of the cheek implants...all of which affect the aesthetic outcome....
