Flat cheeks, would custom cheek implants be useful for me? (Photos)

Genius94430Mar 4, 2023
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 :)
