I am 19 years old (Female), I had undergone a cheek implant surgery back in March, the implants that I have are Medpor (Porex) I am not happy at all, I haven't gone out of the house since I had the surgery done. I am trying to get rid of them maximum by May 1, but my biggest concern is will my cheeks and skin originate back to how they used to be? Will my skin sag if I remove them 1-2 months post-op? And what are the cons of my decision? I really appreciate all doctors helping me!

Answer: Cheek Implant Removal Thank you for your question. It would be a little more helpful to know what you are unhappy with regarding your result. Speaking with your surgeon about your concerns may be helpful and reveal alternatives available to help you achieve your goals. I would not expect that implant removal would result in your cheeks or skin hanging but remember that you are used to seeing yourself with a fuller cheeks and removing them may feel like you are worse than pre-op but in reality little has changed. Again, I highly recommend talking to your surgeon in detail so the best course of action can be planned for youBest of LuckDrG

Answer: Unhappy with Cheek Implants If you are truly unhappy with your recent cheek augmentation, speak with your surgeon about your concerns and discuss recommendations for improvement. Perhaps there are other suggestions for you to consider before taking them out. However, should you decide to have your cheek implants removed, I would not expect any problems with sagging skin after removal. Good luck
