Can Tear Trough Implants and Submalar Cheek Implants Be Placed at the Same Time?
I have hollowness in the tear trough region under my eyes, as well as flatness to the inner cheek area (although I have nice cheekbone structure in the outer cheek area). I am wondering if it is possible to have both tear trough implants and submalar cheek implants placed during one surgery? I have already been told that I would indeed be a good candidate for either of these procedures. Thanks in advance for the input!

Tear trough and submalar implants can be done together.

Hi
Skilfully applied Restylane or Juvederm Ultra in the tear trough , and deep Radiesse injections in the cheek bones, are safer (no infection, malposition, or nerve damage), do not involve surgery, and last at least two years.
