Can my infra orbital malar implant become out of place if I do boxing as a sport?

Question

I do muay thai (boxing) as a sport. I wonder if my facial implant can get displaced when I get hit under my eyes

Mehryar (Ray) Taban, MD, FACS · Answer

Anything is possible but it very unlikely that it would happen. Of course, I am not advocating boxing in general for other possible eye trauma related issues.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

While anything is theoretically possible, that has not been seen in my extensive infraorbital-malar implant experiences...nor any facial implants for that matter. Between the encapsulating scar tissue and the screws fixation it can never be said that the risk is impossible, just that it appears to be very low.
