Is getting cheek implants very painful?

October 11, 2015
Asked By:myloh in Los Angeles, CA

I watched a video explaining how surgeons make an incision inside of the mouth and slide the implant through there. I had to stop watching because it grossed me out a lot. I really want high cheekbones but I'm scared about the amount of pain I'm going to experience and how long it'll take for me to heal. Will this procedure make eating , talking and brushing my teeth difficult?
