Cheek Implants After Orthognathic Surgery? (photo)

sophierose
I am having orthognathic surgery. (upper jaw moved forward with genioplasty). The question is about how to correct the mid-face deficiency a Lefort 1 does not. I have adequate fatty cheek tissue. However, the apples are low, and the area below my eyes looks flat and sunken. Would you recommend cheek implants or an H.A. filler? If cheek implants have a high likelihood of asymmetry or further surgery years down the line, those would be factors that rule out implants.
