I have had cheek implants surgically attached with screws and plates....someone has applied immense pressure and impact on my face (assaulted me)..Im terrified that the cheek implant is ruptured or deflated in some way...my symptoms after the assault was severe swelling, redness, shooting pain & throbbing, heat.& dull aches. I have had an xray....but would I need a cat scan or mRI scan to pick up the cheek implants? Please advise me Im very worried....
