I have always had a lack of cheek projection under the eye (as can be seen in my photos). Only the lateral zygomatic arch seems to protrude. How well would malar and mandible angle implants fit my face? would I need to get them slightly rounded to fit my nose/chin/forehead? Will Malar implants slightly disguise the dark horizontal lines between my upper cheek and orbits? I like my appearance much better when I smile or have light directly on my face (such as in the flash photo I posted).

Implants for cheeks

Cheek hypoplasia is best treated with malar implants inserted intraorally and placed directly over the maxilla. These implants are usually made of silastic and are used to augment the natural cheek area. Occasionally submalar implants are used and are placed below the zygomatic arch. Malar implants will not disguise any horizontal lines between the upper cheeks and the orbits.
