Can I have my Medpor cheek implants removed by a different surgeon? Will it be easy to remove?

Nice18501Apr 29, 2025
I had medpor cheek implants placed an over a year ago. They are the smallest size available so they aren’t large. However my face looks very big and I want them removed. Would it be easy for another surgeon to removed the implants, and will there be sagging? And if sagging is a possibility is there anything that can be done to lift the area during removal ? These are medpor implants with screws will removal be complicated? I hope not

Providing that cheek implants are placed through an incision in the mouth it is very easy to remove them in local anesthesia. You should not expect any long term asymmetry after implant removal. Good luck.

It is impossible to give you good advice based on this photo. In person consultation or, at least, series of close up photos is needed for good evaluation.
