Why is it that one week after cheek implant surgery, the swelling appears to be more pronounced at night?

Hi, The swelling is more evident at nights because your body stays in a more flat position (since you lay down) the edema collects and stays more on your face. The other possible reason is related with your body's diurnal rhythm which regulates the excretion of certain body hormones and steroids which causes more fluid retention at nights.

Hello. Can cheek implants create an "ogee curve" in a previously flat midface area? Additionally, I've come across concerns online that suggest cheek implants can lead to bone dissolution if left in for many years. Can you provide some insights on these topics? Thank you.

I have a very flat midface, and my face is narrow. I'm interested in achieving a heart-shaped face with more volume in the midface region. I'm also contemplating a rhinoplasty.
