Should I have my three day old implants removed? It is now three days later and I still have paralysis.

JPLarson99Jul 12, 2018
I had two emergency implants done on Monday morning due to an infection caused by a microfracture in my upper molar. It is now three days later and I still have some paralysis on the left side of my face when I smile etc. I am very concerned this paralysis will stay. Should I have the implants backed out? I would appreciate your thoughts on what I should do next?
