Do cheek implants take 6 months to look normal?

hayley7
I am interested in getting combined sub malar implants. However I have read (among other problems) that they are very un natural looking for 6 weeks, yet they dont really look good or settle properly for 6 months , is this true. Also , I read that there are other side effects like making laugh lines worse, drooping of the corners of the mouth, eye bags looking worse etc. Is this common? thank you
