Achieving a full, forward grown orbital look - can I expect total orbital implants atop the zygomatic arch? (photos)

Question

Hi, I'm someone with an undergrown nasomaxillary complex, leaving a lot of my soft tissue features sagging, and looking unalert or neotenous to me. I'm curious about how realistic it is to expect total orbital implants atop the zygomatic arch and over the supraorbital ridge to enhance the appearance of the eye shape and make my eye area more masculine or alluring. I would also be seeking out paranasal implants to give the impression of an overall forward grown face. thank you

You are referring to periorbital augmentation which is accomplished by a combination of custom brow bone and infra lateral orbital-alar implants. This creates a near complete encirclement of the orbital rims which can have a masculinizing effect on the lower forehead and upper middle third of the face. Whether such a change is beneficial for you requires computer imaging to make that assessment. For the lower mmidface paranasal augmentation may be helpful but you may be seeking a complete midfacial augmentation effect bringing out the entire midface. Similarly computer imaging to assess this type of facial change as well.
