Follow up: Hole at T junction 2 weeks post lift and implants. What are the chances of me having to remove the implant? (photos)

Asked By:madmac87 in Reading, UK

I had an uplift (anchor incisions) with implants. I am 2 weeks post op and I have developed this small hole at the T junction. Everywhere else is healing well. I have been given antibiotics and advised to keep it clean and wait for it to heal by my surgeon. He doesn't seem concerned and said it should heal itself. However, I am very scared and anxious because I know that if the implant becomes visible then I will have to have it removed.
