I'd like to get cheek implants but I'm worried about the long time effects of bone resorption. Is there a limit to resorption?

Hi.  There isn't any significant studies on decades old cheek implants so that is also worrisome. Do the implants continually cause settling, or is there a limit? Bc if it does if someone had them for 50 + years wouldn't they expect significant resorption? Is severe resorption treated with bone grafts successfully? I want the procedure but want risk my overall health.
