I Have Mild Midfacial Hypoplasia Would I Be a Good Canidate for Cheek Implants? (photo)

I have mild midfacial hypoplasia paired with a underbite. I had a Lefort 1 surgery and now my bite is fine. I then went on to get a spacer graft under my lower eyelids because my eyes were very protruded. The only thing now is my cheek area its a little flat so I was wondering if I was a good canidate for cheek implants?.The lower half of my midface has fallen out more after the Lefort 1. The upper half is still sunken and flat.
