What are the risks involved with getting Cheek Implants?
As with all surgery, getting cheek implants does carry some risk of complications. Problems that are specific to cheek implant surgery are a possible rejection of the implants, plus with intra-oral implants, a slightly higher risk of infection. To minimise the chance of infection, it is vital that you follow the advice of your cheek implant surgeon. For more general risks, read Risks of Cosmetic Surgery. However, the main risk with cheek implants is bad judgement regarding the shape and size of the implants. This is the Number One cause of cheek implants being removed. For this reason, it is vital that you and your surgeon discuss fully the results you would like from your cheek augmentation surgery.
