Safe to Use Juvaderm in Area Around Porex Cheek Implants? Hi, I'm happy with a recent medpor cheek implant surgery generally but would like the edges of the implants 'softend' a little around my eye/temple area. I think it's a bit obvious I have something under my skin. I thought something like Juvaderm Voluma would do the job. Is there any problems with putting 2/3 mls of Juvaderm in near cheek implants? and how long should I wait until having the filler? I want to have the filler as soon as possible but not sure if that risks implant infection.

A: Juvederm with cheek implant

I do not think juvederm is a problem around the implant. But your surgeon should make sure your edema from the implant surgery has fully resolved or you may have to repeat or reverse the juvederm. Donald R Nunn MD Plastic Surgeon.

Silicone Cheek Implant w/ Sutures, No Screws does this produce a unnatural result because the implant is technically not apart of the bone, but rather just "sewed" into the soft tissue? Also, wouldn't this create dragging and a "heaviness" look that will sag more easily as you age. Basicaly as the cheek tissue inevitably sags, so will the implants sice they are sewed to the cheek and not screwed to the bone. Thanks!

A: Screws for cheek implants

Cheek implants are placed in a pocket created immediately over bone and fitted to the implant. I have not found it necessary to use fixation screws in the majority of cases since a properly formed pocket will hold the implant solidly in place against the bone. In patients with previous trauma and irregularity of bone I will sometimes use fixation screws.

I Am 17 Yrs Old and I Am Self Conscious About my Facial Apperance Could I Get a Cheek Implant?

A: Consider starting more conservatively than an implant

Without looking at your photographs it is difficult to say whether cheek implants should be considered. One option which would give you an idea how augmenting the cheeks would look is to start by using an injectable filler. More permanent solutions such as cheek implants could be considered later if you like the effect.
