Dark circles, lower scleral show & possible protruding eyes - are infraorbital rim implants needed? (Photo)

And if I do, would infraorbital rim implants fix these problems?

At nine months post op you are seeing your final results and significant changes are not expected. I encourage you to meet with your surgeon to discuss your concerns. If you are not satisfied with that meeting you can consider a second opinion to learn more about options to revise your results.
