Question:
I’m interested in cheek implants and I’d like to know how secure they are. Is there potential of harming the implants in any way if you hit your cheek or something?
Answer:
Once healed cheek implants will not easily move. I often use orthopedic fixation screws to anchor them to the bone which makes it almost impossible for them to move. Most minor trauma will not affect the implant. Of course any injury that is severe enough to fracture a facial bone can certainly harm the implant.
