What is better silicone or medpor cheek implants? Is it possible to use more than one screw to fix the implants?

Sesibl''e470920Jun 27, 2022
Hello, So I am interested in getting cheek implants and I would like to get custom made ones. At first I wanted to get medpor but I am scared of the complications because I saw a lot of surgeons saying that they have a high infection rate. So now I would like to get custom silicone cheek implants but I am scared that they can move if they are not screwed so I would like to know if it is possible to use more than one screw to fix the implants? I am still unsure about what material to use.Help me

Great photo series. Best to consider long lasting fillers over cheek implants. Implants have higher infection rates. Fees in the $2,000 vs $8,000 ranges.

I think a minor anterior lift with fat or HA fillers to cheeks is better options. Also might consider masseter Botox. Seek virtual consult.....

Such cheekbone augmentation effects (and even greater) can be achieved but it takes a custom cheek implant design approach to reliably do so. This is not the type of effect that standard cheek implants are designed to achieve.
