Indications for infra-orbital implants vs malar/sub-malar implants? (Photo)

Question

I am interested specifically in implants and not fillers or fat transfer. I would like to know whether implants could benefit my face structure and whether infra-orbital or malar implants would be best suited. How are they different and what different issues do they address?

Implants are not without risks but they have a role in some patients. Consultation is necessary if you would be a candidate.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

These two types of midface implants have very different effects even through they are geographically close on the face. Infraorbital implants fill in the hollows under the eye and can even be extended out into the cheeks if needed by custom designs. Malar/submalar implants are for the cheeks and one back but do not extend up under the eye area.
