I have swelling after Cheek Implant Removal. How long would the swelling normally last?

Asked By:Curious_Inquirer in Toronto, ON

8 months after having medium malar cheek implants inserted, I had them removed 10 days ago in addition to a small amount of fat transfer done to my lower cheeks. 1. How long would the swelling normally last? My left cheek and left side of upper lip are still numb. 2. The 2 areas where the malar implants were are still a bit "puffy"- is that normal? How long would it take for skin to re-drape over cheekbone? Thank you.
