Cheek implants: what will you look like in 10 years time as you age?

Question

I'm planning to get cheek implants but I don't know if the youthfulness will stay as you age. Some crazy person told me as you age if you have cheek implants in the implants will show. Not in a good way but apparently it will look "fake" and it won't look like cheek bone but the outline of the implants. Will the aging plus the implant destroy your face after 10 years or so? And is the a risk of bone erosion because a friend told me they rub on your bones?...

though not universal and depending on the characteristics of the face, many thin faces get thinner still with age. The presence of cheek implants in these people doesn't look good as the face ages. The cheeks get more hollow and the cheekbones are unnaturally high and unnatrallu shaped , making the face look like a skull. These are changes that happen over decades. This illustrates the reality that what looks good on a young face can look bad in an older one. High cheekbones and hollow cheeks look  hot and sexy in a young face.  On an older face those same characteristics look gaunt unhealthy and further ages the face.

Hi, I have performed many cheek augmentations, over the past 26 years and the implants do just the opposite of what you were told.  Cheek implants increase (at least the ones that I use) the anterior or front section of the cheeks making it more difficult for facial tissues to sag downward towards the nose and mouth. The face looks youthful and naturally attractive for longer.  Hope this helps.
