Could eyelid surgery infection spread to cheek/infraorbital rim implants?

November 26, 2023
Asked By:YukkyT in Scotland, United Kingdom

I had a cheek implant and infraorbital rim implant fitted a year ago I'm planning to have a lower blepharoplasty, canthopexy and lower eyelid retraction next year If I got an infection from the eyelid surgery is there a risk it could spread below the periosteum to the implants, im scared it would require removal
