I'm a 26 years old male who had a very flat and droop midface.3 years ago i got a mid face cheek implant.I was never happy with it. It looks fake and way too big(xl). It makes me look fat. But I learned to live with it. fastforward to today. I really wanna Remove my implant but i am also scared of the saggy after the implant removal let alone my face was saggy to start with( genetic). So my question "is cheek implant removal and midface lift doable at the same time on a 26 years old?"

Answer: Mid-face lift and cheek implants In a younger patients the mid-cheek lift can be problematic. Most likely, you could benefit from some type of tissue augmentation, whether with structural fat grafting or temporary filler like a Juvederm product. Of course, only an in person evaluation can determine the best treatment approach. Seek out an experienced and talented plastic surgeon for a second opinion.

Answer: Mid-Facelift after Cheek Implant Removal You are young and would likely not need a mid-facelift if the implants were removed. This is an aesthetic judgement and would need an in person evaluation to make a good recommendation. The most conservative would be to remove the implant and let everything heal before doing anything more. Likely there would be some additional fullness from the fibrous capsule that forms around the implants. You could have a small implant placed at the time of removal if that seemed appropriate after a consultation in person. Various fillers or fat could be used if more augmentation were needed after removal.
