My doctor's technique for cheekbone implant include an incision by the lower lash line. Is this a typical technique?

I have very flat almost negative looking cheekbones that bother me badly. I'm looking to do cheekbone augmentation with chin and jaw implants as well. I'm quite nervous about the idea of having a scar near my eye though as I'm only in my mid twenties. Also cheek filler has always dissolved quickly and I'm looking for a more permanent solution.
