Is It Possible To Use A Real Bone Implant For Cheeks Vs. A Synthetic?

Alexnyc1
Hi, i am having a lower jaw surgery soon and i wanted to have a cheek implant during the same surgery. My doctor does not reccommend cheek implants due to the complications it might arise, he said they might use a bone taken from my own body(thighs) to augment to cheekbone area. What would you suggest in this case? Is this operation too invasive? Should i just get fillers instead every year? Thank you
