Post Paranasal Implants with Rib Cartilage: Will my Smile Return to Normal?

July 11, 2011
Asked By:Lena V in Fairfax, VA

Several weeks ago, I had rib cartilage paranasal implants to balance out midface depression and protruding lips. My smile is now very different. Is there a chance that it won't return to normal 100%? Also, I can see the paranasal implants when I smile wide. It looks like a hunk of fillers is under my skin. Is this swelling, or is it permanent?
