Cheek Implants - Sutured or Screwed?

Cincinnati4904
I want to get cheek implants, just small ones that will add some slight definition but not make me appear like another person. One plastic surgeon (who I have gone to before and really liked his work) places the cheek implant in and sutures it. However, another surgeon that I contacted actually screws his in. My main concern is that the implant will shift. Why do some surgeons choose sutures and others screws? Is one better that the other? Pros/ cons of each. Thanks
