Possible Complications with Cheek & Chin Implants Connecticut

Possible Complications

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.
