Yes they can be removed. At the same time, soof lift can help reduce the hollowness that would result from them. Filler injection is additional option to reduce the hollowness. But consultation is needed to determine if they should be removed and what should be done after.
Obviously why they are there in the first place and what would be needed with their removal very much depends on your unique circumstances. Generally these implants should not be used for volume replacement in the tear trough. The reason is that under eye fillers are so reliable for this service. I do have many Europeans who travel to Beverly Hills for under eye fillers with me. Generally the filler service is fussy and requires an artistic eye. However, done well it is very good. I reserve rim implants for structural purposes typically after catastrophic lower eyelid surgery as part of the reconstructive process. What you will need will ultimately require a personal assessment.
Thank you for your question. The omnipor implant is a porous polyethylene implant, these can be removed. Due to the implant being porous, the expectation is that you will have vascular ingrowth, the closer to the time of implantation the easier it is to have these removed, ideally if the first several months after they were placed. The facial appearance will be similar to the appearance prior to placing the implants, so if they were placed for volume loss you will most certainly notice that volume loss with them removed. I would recommend discussing with your surgeon your options to address your specific concerns regarding the implants.
You need to see an ophthalmologist or oculoplastic specialist for evaluation. It could be early blepharospasm but most likely benign eyelid fasciculations which can be treated with botox.

Thanks for the question. I would make an appointment to see your surgeon again. The eyes look red and inflamed and you might have a concurrent conjunctivitis and may require acourse of antibiotics. Were you put on any antibiotics after your surgery and have the eyes changed much since or have ...
Have you had any injections of anti-inflammatory medicine? A combination of steroid with 5-FU and often soften and flatten these scars. May take more than one injection. If it does not go away completely, it will at least be easier to revise since the scar will be softer.
Usually no further changes are expected after 3 months from surgery. Best to discuss with your surgeon. Based on this photo, it appears you have residual under eye fat pads.
Your brow is pretty high now. Before doing a surgery I would try some Botox to the outer brow which should give you an elevation of the temporal brow. If you really like the way it looks, then you could consider a surgical temporal brow lift.
