Can a cheek implant be replaced? (Photo)

It is possible to replace cheek implants or to remove them completely.  An examination of you would be helpful to try and determine what might be causing the problems you are currently experiencing.  

Yes, if you're unhappy with your implants, they can be replaced. Well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill), Sculptra or Fat are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Any cheek implant can be replaced, silicone one much easier though. This may itself resolve the problem of the nerve compression. However, considering that you have elements of nerve injury which may not go away with implant replacement due to scaring around the nerve, one may consider exploration of the infraorbital nerve and neurolysis. Both intraoral approach (one most likely used to place the implants) and transconjuctival (lower eyelid incision placed inside of the lid) should be used in that case. This part of surgery, however, should not be done by a surgeon that has no experience in facial nerve/microsurgery. Good luck.
