Can implants increase muscle mass/strength on the face?

I believe for the body thicker and larger bones means more attachment for muscles and thus more room for growth. I am wondering if it works like this on the face as well. Since there is increased surface area would an implant on the jaw allow more growth for the masseters? Would an implant under the eye allow more growth for the orbiculis muscles?

Great photo series. Best to consider long lasting fillers over cheek implants. Implants have higher infection rates. Fees in the $2,000 vs $8,000 ranges.
