Do cheek implants make the nose and/or nostrils wider?

December 22, 2014
Asked By:modestie in Boston, Massachusetts

In some B&A photos of cheek implants, I notice that the patient's nose (the nostrils especially) looks a bit wider in the after photo. This would make sense, being that the cheek implants do stretch the skin to some degree. Is this an unavoidable side effect? Or does it come down to implant size and the surgeon's skill?
