What makes implants (orbital rim/malar) better than fillers for correcting hollows/orbital rim deficiency? (photo)

Fat grafting is the best solution because:It is permanent when properly done- unlike temporary fillers The stem cells resident in the fat rejuvenate the overlying skinThe surgeon has more flexibility in distributing the volume where it is needed- unlike implants Check out the web link below for the proper way to process fat so it is permanent and the video below to see how fat grafting improves facial contour. 

Facial rejuvenation through volume changes is one of the most common means around the eyes and cheeks. It used to be that implants were always used. Today I almost never use implants anymore. They are foreign material and have many problems. You can try fillers, but I utilize advanced fat transfer techniques that lasts forever. Facial fat grafting is the key to facial rejuvenation. I would look into this more specifically with an advanced cosmetic surgeon to  see I you are a candidate. Best wishes.

In the past, when fillers weren't available, rim implants were used more often. However, they are much more invasive with various possible side effects. In the age fillers, they have become almost obsolete, except in rare circumstances. That is not you. Fillers are safer and more predictable and reversible. They also tend to last a long time around the eyes.
