Will cheek implants cause a joker smile?

Lunaaa1
I'm interested in cheek implants. I'd like sub malar, but I'm not sure. I've read reviews saying people can't smile all the way anymore even after healing. I want to look natural and not fake, and just lift my heavy lower face and create Apple cheeks for a more feminine look. What causes this and how can it be prevented? What is the satisfaction rate usually of your cheek implant surgeries?
