How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

When should one expect to see the final results of cheek implants?
Dr. placed small cheek implant on true right cheek & medium on true left, he said due to the fact that I was asymmetrical prior to surgery. So far I am loving the results of the right cheek with small implant!!!
I've read that one should expect to see about 80% of the results @ about 4 weeks & final results anywhere between 3-6-12 months. I'm not liking how I can still notice how the left is bigger and am wondering if this will decrease & cheeks will look more symmetrical as all swelling subsides & all healing is complete. I've also heard if you wait to remove them at 6 mo then you may still have a small pocket remaining to give you look of tiny implant. I'm not sure if I should wait a little longer before decided to either replace the left with a small to match right or just remove the cheek implants altogether. Feedback, comments, questions, true result experiences also appreciated. THANK YOU!

Cheek implants 19 days ago, I'm beginning to notice new pain and symptoms I have not felt before now.
Doctor placed small cheek implant on right cheek and medium on left he said due to the fact that I was asymmetrical. Is something wrong with my cheek implants? Could the left one have shifted or just be too big?
IS SOMETHING GOING WRONG????
I am feeling new pain on left side cheek and near jaw, change (bag) under left eye, redness in left eye, change in shape of left eye along, pain when I smile only on left, a painful feeling of fullness on left cheek that wasn't there before along with a few other new symptoms.
I am still sleeping propped up with 3 pillows and sleep up right, I do NOT sleep on my side.
I have scheduled an appointment with surgeon for tomorrow to discuss my concerns, what are some of the things/questions I should ask him???
Thank you all in advance!
