Placement of submalar cheek implants
A submalar implant can be placed more laterally to allow a paranasal implant. The submalar implants come in small, medium, large, and extra-large and can be placed in the area of the cheek that needs augmentation. It simply adds volume to the area that needs restoration.

Cheek Implant Placement
I am no longer a fan of submalar cheek implants. There are too many potential problems. Instead, there are now excellent soft tissue filler substances available that can be used to enhance of the contours of the facial soft tissues with nice results and greater predictability.

Submalar Cheek Implants
Submalar implants wiil add volume to the cheeks. These implants are usually solid and therefore are not sized by cc's which describe liquid volume. When you ask about "paranasal" implants, I assume you are talking about implants placed at the base of nose to increase projection of the maxilla above the lips. If this is not correct, contact me and I'll answer your question. The "paranasal" implant will not interfer with placement of the submalar implants.

Relation between Cheek implants and Paranasal implants
Cheek implants are best placed on or just under the Malar eminence. As such they do not reach as centrally and inferiorly as the paranasal implants which are placed around the lateral/inferior margin of the pyriform aperture of the nose to raised a deficient maxilla.
