I had porex orbital rim implants 4 months ago and am looking at getting them removed. I had them done by Dr Yaremchuk who did a terrific job, but I just miss my old face (which wasn't that bad looking before) and smile and would rather avoid any long term infections, extrusions, ect that might occur in the future as I am only 25 years old. Dr Y said it should not be a problem, but I just wanted to hear about some others experiences with removal and if things went back to normal. Also is recovery quicker? It took like 3 months for the swelling to totally subside when my implants were placed. I feel like I wasted so much money though probably no one could convince me otherwise not to do it initially. I guess it will be a good life lesson learned.
