Which cheek implant covers both orbital rim and malar area?

Question

I have attached various photos of cheek implants and oribital rim implants. Which would cover both the orbital rim and the malar area. i am looking for an implant which will give me nice cheekbones and eyebags at the same time. Will any of the implants I attached cover both or would i need to get a combination of implants?

our surgeons specifically dr Pryor customize the implants to fit your needs. I suggest you see an expert who can do this specific technique to get it right the first time. Best, Dr. Emer.

It is best to obtain personal consultation to determine exactly what you would benefit from as unfortunately diagrams don't do it justice. There are implants that cover both the orbital rim and malar area.

No standard facial implant covers both the cheek and infraorbital areas in a smooth and continuous fashion. That can only be done using a custom made infraorbital-malar implant style.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

In our practice, we use malar cheek implants or sub-malar cheek implants placed through an intraoral approach under a brief general anesthesia.  The size, the thickness, and the shape of the implants is all determined at the time of the consultation and in-person examination.

Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures using dermal fillers, silastic facial implants (cheek, chin), liposuction and/or facelifts for over 30 years.  I do not use orbital rim implants and do like the aesthetic result they achieve.  In my experience, the Terino Malar Shell (of the appropriate size and thickness) yields the most naturally, beautiful cheeks..."if" and "when" they are properly positioned on the cheeks.  If you have lower eyelid bags or "true" tear troughs, no implant will completely cover the tear trough "and" the malar/submalar area.  The proper placement of a cheek implant goes to approximately 4mm's from the edge of the lower orbital rim. Following my beauty principles, men look chiseled and handsome with angularity in the cheeks, chin and mandibular angles.  From the photos, your cheeks are flat anteriorly (in the front), the chin is weak as are the mandibular angles and there is excess facial fat in front and below the cheeks.  This combines to create an elongated oval shaped face.  The following procedures would create a more ruggedly handsome face.
Cheek augmentation with cheek implants to add angularity to the cheeks and mid face.  Liposuction can be combined to reduce any excess fat to further shape the cheeks and face.
Chin augmentation, using a chin implant, to add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face.  I have performed many facial shaping procedures, including Chin Augmentation with dermal fillers or silastic chin implants, for over 30 years.  When the chin is weak, this creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy, the lower face looks short, de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a "double chin".  Proper placement of a silastic chin implant adds forward projection to the chin thereby creating harmony and balance to the lower face.  Using the same incision, liposuction can be performed to reduce the fat and further shape the neck.  Excess skin, from below the chin, can also be removed through the same incision.  I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty (requires extensive tissue dissection, bone cuts and placement of metal screws and plates to secure the cut bone segments).  I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone.  In my opinion, you are a good candidate for chin implant surgery.  
Augmentation of the mandibular angles using a dermal filler (jaw implants have too many unwanted side effects IMHO) to add volume, angularity and flare to the jaw line.
Hope this helps
