touched mildly my cheeks...they feel different
WORTH IT$2,000
I am getting a bit worried. I have always thought right cheek was bigger because more swollen. I never touched the implant because they told me not to. I did first time now after one month because i want to know what is under my skin. I touched the right side and felt in detail the implant: it is big and not where i would have liked it, it is low in the cheek. Worst thing, on the left side the implant was much smaller, i hardly could feel it. I do not know why: he even showed me the implants and they were the same. But touchint them i clearly feel they are different. Maybe he modelled one implant to balance my face but it turned out badly and he put it in me the same. I cannot know. I will have x rays i think. I am nomore happy of my surgery.

I have a bit more swelling on one side too and was nervous but I feel it will even out. When you smiled previous to surgery did your cheeks go high? And when you smile now do you feel they are lower? I hope it has to do with muscles being disrupted and will once again rise higher after time. I think it has been a good change for you. This cheek implant surgery is such an emotional battle, it is a long recovery to see real results. All the best.
Actually yes my cheeks are low when i smile. But mainly asimmetrical. The asimmetry is even more when i smile. My lips cannot go full extent so it is more a half smile than a full smile.
I think you look even better now and you were a bit hollow before, but now your face looks nice and balanced. You look great @
From the photos, I cannot see any difference in the sides. You look good. Hopefully, it will all settle down to your satisfaction. Surgery takes a while to heal. How about next time you post a photo, try some smiling - that makes everything look better and it will show how the cheeks look when higher. Good luck.
I hope you're ok. Thank you for sharing your story. I too, have had similar ones, however it was with HA fillers not implants. I can't tell from your photos and your face looks very symmetrical from what I can see. I have Body Dysmorphic Disorder and am always unhappy with my cosmetic procedures and can convince myself they've gone botched, even though everyone tells me other wise. I hope that you are no longer in any stress over your face.

I think its a pretty good improvement.
How old are you?
You look quite young so have you always have mid face flattening even as a child or did it happen as you aged?
Also,some people get this from heavy exercise and fast weightloss etc so are you a jogger,or do you workout a lot or are a vegetarian?.

Yes i was a runner but it started before that; I lost only 2-3 kg with running, I am not a big runner. Yes losing weight does not help but it simply makes worse a genetic condition which is flat cheek bones. Fat covering cheek helps a little so if you lose it, cheeks become worse.
Not, as a child i was very diffeerent, normal face and normal cheek bones, it started with puberty especially at the end of my puberty, towards 18 19 and especially after. My face has changed a lot after the end of my puberty, at the point some people could not recognize me. At 20 yo I still had pretty normal cheek bones from pics i see, I have no idea what happened after. I am 27 now (i know i look younger) and I have already had upper and jaw maxillar surgery (when i was 23) for third class malocclusion, flat cheeks was the result of the third class malocclusion and the only thing maxillar surgery could not change. This is why i did it on my own.
Thanks for asking, anyway, I think it is an improvement but I would have liked my cheek bones higher and bigger...

Have you considered adding some temporary fillers too to give some more height and definition?

They suggested me it but anyway they would not last for long i would need to do them every 6 months.
Hi Andrea, I think the result is very natural looking, you look great. I'm not sure larger implants are necessary or would look better, you're very handsome right now.
Thank you very much :)
You look great!
You look absolutely amazing!

Swelling is going away especially from the right cheek which seemed bigger. They actually look more similar even if right cheek is still bigger.
My only concern is that if i move my head fast or do a fast movement like a small jump i feel "something" moving in my right cheek. I have always felt it but I supposed it was going to go away.
This is why i would have liked screws to keep all the things in place and attached to the bone. I dont feel that it is attached to the bone (as an extention of the bone) and i do not like this.
I hope this will be solved with time, it is still less than 1 month (1 month in 2 days and half).
I will tell this concern to the surgeon but i dont think they could do much now (or care).
If anyone is having or has had same feeling please tell me.

I would be very cautious of having anything planted my face or body for that matter
Was this the forme clinic? I ask, as I had the same surgeon for upper blephs and he did a good job.
I am sure they will support you. Juliettex
The implants sit way too low on the face in my opinion and makes the face look "chimp-like" exactly how mine looked and why I hated them. One of my Medpor implants was in a different position on the face and I did not like how it looked.
You have a nice strong jaw line and maxilla,..but this is the problem with these low medpor implants,..they sit too lowon the face and make the maxilla look weak....which for a male isnt good.
I want to be 100% honest with you so you can get them out before they become ingraned into the tissue. Medpor is like velcro and sticks to the tissues.
