There is rarely any complication with cheek implant, but there are some potential risks you need to discuss with your surgeon. Possible risks associated with cheek impact are as follows:
– After surgery, the sensation in the cheek area may minimize for a short duration or permanently.
– It is possible that implant may shift. To avoid this a plastic surgeon advises avoiding sports and rigorous exercise during the healing process. If misplacement of cheek implant happens then to correct the face asymmetry a second procedure is needed.
– If the implant is done through eyelid incision, there are chances of lower eyelid retraction and dry eyes.
– There are chances of infection after the implant. To treat the infection antibiotics are given.
