How soon after I get cheek implants can I return to work?

Question:

How soon after I get cheek implants can I return to work? Will it be really noticeable to people that I’ve had work done?

Answer:

Well, there are different types of cheek implants, and I tend to not like silicone implants. I use Porex-type implants, which act more like part of the bone and in my opinion have fewer complications. They are harder to put in though, and that is really the only downside.

Because of the dissection required to place the cheek implants, there can often be a good bit of swelling and possible bruising that will be noticeable. If you are only doing desk work, there is no reason you could not go back to work in a day or so, but if there is bruising, as you know it, it can take two weeks for that to go away.
