Can a cheek implant be replaced? (Photo)

sarca2
I got cheek implants 10 years ago and my right cheek always protruded more then my left. I feel pain & tingling in upper lip on right side when I press area in above right nostril, lip droops and numb since surgery, When I press area right next to the outer nostril I get tingly feeling on upper outer cheek, by the edge of my outer eye socket.I feel like it’s pressing on a nerve, it hurts at night pressing in pillow. Cheeks have indents too.
