Is it likely I am wrong about the 'triangle-of-death' in terms of infection via cheek implants?

hello I am a man and I would like to have cheekbone implants because they are much too low. However, although minimal, there is a risk of infection. I am studying medicine and therefore I know that the area in question is called the triangle of death because if a bacterium enters it it goes directly into the brain and it is death. It is likely that I am wrong because I am not very advanced in my studies that is why I am writing to you doctor.
