How long do cheek implants last?
Standard cheek implants were designed to last your lifetime. Especially if the implants are the harder variety and screwed into place, your risk of shifting is very minor. Although anything having to do with inserting metal into bone run the risks of bone infection and bone deterioration. However, most "bone screws" are manufactured of titanium and just develop calcifications around the screws, if that, and nothing more. Then again, everything is dependent upon the individual and as you should know there is no "never" or "definite" in medical science.
