Is it normal for one cheek implant to still be very swollen 10 months out from surgery? (Photo)

Asked By:gotgoatz in Beverly Hills, California

I got cheek implants with a facelift last April, all my swelling is down except for my left side. It has not changed size in months! Starting to worry and wondering can it be capsular contracture or permanent? If it can be fixed will it always look a little bit off or different? This is very scary and my husband thinks it's permanent. What can it be? Can it be corrected back to normal?
