A member asked:
Do you know if there are side affects to having cheek implants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Always risks w surge: Implants in the cheek are permanent (with the exception of fat and fillers). Implants such as silicone or goretex are frequently asymmetric, can become infected and have so-so patient satisfaction. Injectables are typically temporary but allow more precision with symmetry and no surgical risk.
