Please help with advice on what I can get done for my face. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism last year and ever since then I have formed a double chin and always look tired in the face. I feel like I look older then I am and it messes with my self esteem.

Generally speaking, there is no specific contraindication to injections after an orbital floor repair with titanium implants.  These implants have a very low risk of getting infected or extruding through your skin.  Having said that, I would also not recommend injecting right on top of or ve...
