The left side is popped out. I went to see another doctor who suggest me to wait at least after 3 months to redo To my memory, the bone was popped-out right after the surgery. I just do not understand this failure cause it's a very careless mistake. I would like to seek more advice. (1.) The possible reason for this to happen? (2.) Is it fixable and when to fix it? (3.) When can I remove the screw/plates?

Cheekbone reduction of any significance is done by osteotomies and plates and screws which would be visible by any form of x-ray imaging. Cheekbone reduction by burring is less detectable as no hardware is implanted in the procedure.
In my opinion, modest cheek bone reduction can yield reasonable results. Having said that soft tissue healing can be unpredictable. Please consult with several board certified plastic surgeons or board certified facial plastic surgeons.
Hello yojinThough risks are rare in cheek implants complications can happen. They may include adverse reaction to anesthesia and this is due to reaction caused by substances like tobacco, antidepressants etc., infection and misplacement of implants.
