Is there a lot of swelling involved with a cheek implants?
There will be some considerable swelling associated with the trauma to the tissues. Especially if there were screws involved. Bone trauma may hurt a little more than just tissue trauma so take this into account when you decide on the technique. Although, it is hardly enough pain to dissuade you from making an “incision decision.” Be advised that you will look like a chipmunk for a while and that the chiseled definition will not be apparent for a few months. Please go into this surgery well informed because many re-operations or removals are due to patients not being able to handle the swelling. You are adding with cheek implants – be prepared for swelling. However, in many patients final results can been seen at around 7 months post-op.
