Is It Possible to Get Both Infraorbital Rim Implants And Malar Implants?

September 15, 2011
Asked By:inquis

Surgeons have told me that I have a deficiency under my eyes. One surgeon recommended infraorbital rim implants. Another suggested malar/submalar combined implants (instead of the infraorbitals) to enhance the infraorbital plus my cheeks, which he said were flat. Can I get the malar implants and then, if still necessary, the infraorbital implants? (or the infraorbitals first and then malars) Is this a good idea? Can the infraorbital implants be added without altering the existing malar implants?
