However, in rare cases, there is a possibility of persistent numbness or altered sensation, which can be discussed further during your consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon.

Can I participate in sports or physical activities after getting facial implants?
It’s important to consult with your surgeon regarding the specific procedure and implants you are considering, as well as your desired level of physical activity. In many cases, you may need to refrain from rigorous sports or activities for a certain period to allow for proper healing, but moderate exercise and low-impact activities can typically be resumed after a few weeks. Your surgeon will provide personalized guidance to ensure a safe and successful recovery while balancing your aesthetic goals with your desire for physical activity.
