Can a submalar cheek implant be placed more laterally, to allow space for paranasal implant? How many cc's does the implant fill? Does it lift sunken cheek tissues to volumize?

Answer: Relation between Cheek implants and Paranasal implants Cheek implants are best placed on or just under the Malar eminence. As such they do not reach as centrally and inferiorly as the paranasal implants which are placed around the lateral/inferior margin of the pyriform aperture of the nose to raised a deficient maxilla. Your other questions would be best answered by your Plastic surgeon / ENT surgeon who could demonstrate various implants for you and directly demonstrate what each could do for you. You may want to visit the POREX website and educate yourself on the various implants out there. Dr. P. Aldea

Answer: Submalar Cheek Implants Submalar implants wiil add volume to the cheeks. These implants are usually solid and therefore are not sized by cc's which describe liquid volume. When you ask about "paranasal" implants, I assume you are talking about implants placed at the base of nose to increase projection of the maxilla above the lips. If this is not correct, contact me and I'll answer your question. The "paranasal" implant will not interfer with placement of the submalar implants.
