Cheek implants for young male?

Question

I asked another question but I think Ive decided I want to go through with it... Just a few more questions. My parents both have very prominent cheekbones (like model like look). For some reasons my bones just decided not to grow as much... Will cheek implants look and feel normal? My cheek bones aren't prominent at this point, but they are in a good position in which I get complimented a lot. Will having bigger cheeks also help with outer eye lid sagging?

There are different styles and sizes of cheek implants, so it is a matter of the surgeon's preference as to which type to use to obtain a normal appearance.  If an implant is used that is too big, it can lead to an abnormal appearance.  Photos or an exam would be needed to determine if the implants might influence the outer eyelid sagging that you feel you have.

Depending on your underlying anatomy, there are various shapes and thicknesses that can be chosen. Placing implants around the eye may, at times, add support to the lower lid.To get an idea of what the augmentation may look like, I usually inject a small amount of saline into the area to give the patient a very rough idea.

My suggestion is to go to a physician who treats a lot of younger men and is good with fillers.  Then you can avoid a long term implant.  Some fillers can last a significant amount of time and if placed appropriately can look natural and give amazing contour/structure.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Cheek implants come in various sizes and can be adjusted to the preference of the patient. The lower eyelid will not be affected by cheek implants. See a very experienced surgeon who does natural looking cheeks and
