Hello, Since my youngest age (I'm 25), I have tear through and flat cheeks, my under eye area is very flat. I would like to solve the issue, however I'm not sure the custom implant would solve something, when I look at my scan, I havn't the feeling that zygomatic and maxilla are flat, what would you advice me ? Thanks in advance :)

Cheek implants may cause a slight, temporary, swelling to the lateral aspect of the nose, but they should not result in permanent nasal swelling. They are placed away from the nose and shouldn't distort nasal features. They will change mid-facial volume and you may perceive your nose slightly...
I would never recommend facial implants in an active fighter - MMA, boxing, etc. Given the nature of such activities, you WILL be struck in the implant(s) at some point. You risk dislodgement of the implant even if it is fixated with screws. This could be a very challenging situation to revise...
It would be very difficult to give you good advise without in person evaluation. It can be a small seroma around implant, implant displacement, rotation, etc. CT scan may be the way to check position of the implant? Discussion with your surgeon is best way to proceed with fixing the problem....
