What are the long-term risks of implants for cheekbone augmentation? (Photo)

January 25, 2019
Asked By:_chlowil

Are implants the best option if I want a long-term result? My body metabolizes fillers so quickly that it wouldn’t be worth it to augment my cheekbones with them. Will cheekbone implants weaken the bone or cause a gaunt look over time? My cheeks have plenty of volume, I’d just like more lift. See the photo for how my cheekbones currently look. Thank you!
