Infraorbital implants - What are the choices of incision placement and their associated risks? (Photo)

January 11, 2019
Asked By:suddenurge in California, CA

I have weak cheekbones and undereye areas. I am therefore thinking about customized infraorbital + malar implants. I want the high cheekbone look, hence I suppose the infraorbital implants must provide augmentation both anteriorly and vertically. Do such implants have to be placed through the lower eye-lid? If you cut in this area once, are there strong reasons for avoiding surgeries that require cutting in this area ever again? What risks of such surgery are there e.g. dry eyes etc?
