Can Rib Bone Be Used As Cheek Implants?

September 17, 2009
Asked By:A 1944 in Washington

If a person wants cheek implants, can part of their rib bone be used? If so, will it integrate with the actual cheekbone and become as if it was there all along? So, can this be done and would it cost more than a usual cheek augmentation? Thanks!
