Cheek Implants in Lake County, FL

The recovery period after cheek implant surgery is also identical to the cheek lift procedure.

You should expect some soreness or tenderness in the first few days. This can be mitigated by pain medication prescribed by the surgeon. In those first few days, you should avoid strenuous activities that would raise your blood pressure or heart rate. After a few days you can return to normal activities except for very strenuous activities such a vigorous exercise. After about 1 week, the sutures that are typically hidden in the hairline are removed. It generally takes 2-3 weeks for swelling and bruising to completely subside. At this point your recovery should be complete and you can return to normal activities.
