Are infraorbital implants that dip into the eye socket safe and will they lift up lower eyelid? (Photo)

EngineerIsMyPassion33
I have an under eye boney deficiency causing my lower eyelid to sag. A friend of mine suggested infraorbital rim implants that go up and into the eye socket, a procedure some surgeons do. My question is will this actually help to lift up my eyelid, and is this even safe? It sounds pretty gruesomely invasive to have some solid forced right under the eyeball
