After a cheek augmentation procedure, it is common to experience some side effects and potential complications. Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are typical and should subside gradually over the first few weeks. In some cases, asymmetry, infection, or hematoma formation may occur, although they are relatively rare. It is crucial to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions diligently, including the use of cold compresses, avoiding certain medications, and attending follow-up appointments. By adhering to these guidelines and seeking prompt medical attention if you notice any concerning symptoms, we can minimize the risk of complications and ensure a successful and smooth recovery.
