Would dermal filler or a cheek lift help minimize the visibility of cheek implants?

Straightforward545609Sep 11, 2023
I had medpor cheek implants due to bulgy eyes/flat cheeks but can see the outline. I prefer the right side of my face as the cheek implant looks more seemless. My under eyes now look more hollow and there are more shadows. Do the cheek implants look good? Can filler or something be added under my eye all around the implant to get rid of it's visibility. Will a cheek lift be a good option to cover up the implant and also reduce my scleral show and 2 lift the lower fat that was injected prior
