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

qwopzxnmDec 19, 2017
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?

It is possible to replace cheek implants or to remove them completely.  An examination of you would be helpful to try and determine what might be causing the problems you are currently experiencing.

Hello bradmCheek implants are available in a range of different shapes and sizes, they are mostly customized to fit a specific facial structure. Fillers such as Juvederm Voluma, Radiesse and RestylaneLyft are great alternatives to cheek implants, also fat transfer or injection can be done.
