How much bone absorption do infraorbital implants cause, and do smaller ones cause less?

The "swelling" is likely under eye fat bags that is best addressed with lower blepharoplasty but need evaluation to determine accurately. See an expert.

Optimal results in lower eyelid reshaping are almost always best achieved with a combination of bone and soft tissue procedures. Usually this means a canthoplasty and very likely spacer grafts as well. This would be particularly relevant when you have a negative cantonal till and scleral show.

Cheek implant removal can be done under local anesthesia and involves none of the recovery that putting them created.

In an ideal world (not the one you appear to be in currently) you would get custom combined infraorbital-malar implants that optimally treat the underlying bone deficiency in a comprehensive fashion. But whether staging standard implants to treat it is a good or bad idea depends on the nature of...

That is an incorrect supposition. Implants actually create volume and tissue push. Malar implants are placed intraorally and have no negative impact on lower eyelid position. But if a lower eyelid approach is to be used, which would be true for infraorbital implants, adjunctive procedures to...

While you can place submalar implants below your existing cheeks implants that is a potentially unstable situation since there may be little good tissue onto which the new implants can attach. It would be better to have one single implant per side. Unlike nearly two decades ago combined...
