Can cheek implants turn a flat mid face area into a cheek with an "ogee curve"?

Question

Hi. Can cheek implants turn a flat midface area into a cheek with an “ogee curve?” I have also been spooked by online users saying that cheek implants can dissolve bone if you keep them in for years? thanks

To enhance, augment, define the mid face, fillers, fat grafting or implants can all be options. Fillers or fat grafting can also be used together with implants. It will be best to consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

The ogee curve of the cheeks flattens with age . Contouring can be achieved with implants - but as your face changes this can look odd.  I prefer doing Voluma to achieve a beautiful contoured cheek that can be adjusted over time .
