Possible Complications with Cheek & Chin Implants
As with any surgical procedure, small sensory nerves near the surface of the skin
may be interrupted during Cheek & Chin Augmentation and consequently, you may feel some numbness or have less
than full feeling. Sensibility returns over several months, but some diminished
feelings may last indefinitely.
Facial nerve injury with weakness of a part of the
face can occur on a transient or permanent basis. The latter is very rare. Other
complications not listed here, can occur but are exceedingly rare. The shifting or
imprecise of positioning of an implant, or an infection around it, could require a
second operation or removal of the implant. Rarely, excess tightening and
hardening of scar tissue around an implant can cause an unnatural shape. It is
important to enter into your procedure aware not only of the benefits, but also of
all the possible complications. Talk to your surgeon about every question and
concern you may have.
