Can submalar cheek implants create a more V shaped face? Mines is p oval. I have full lateral (or malar if thats what its called) cheeks but poor frontal projecting cheeks I think. I was also wondering if submalars can brighten my eyes, create a fuller shorter midface, and soften the prominence of my lateral cheekbones (by just a little bit). Also, should I consider a bit of fat grafting to temples and forehead to balance my face. Also should I use custom implants and what size should I use?
