How complicated is it to reposition cheek implants that have been in place for over 20 years?

Asked By:oksanaushka in Chicago, IL

I had cheek implants approximately 23 years ago. One of the implants moved slightly. As I aged this became more noticeable and creates asymmetry in my face. I was using fillers to correct this. I recently had a facelift and the asymmetry still bothers me not to mention there is a small bump where the implant sticks out on one side instead of lying flat. How difficult is it to reposition the implant? Would it be possible to fix the whole problem including the lack of volume with fat grafting?
