Will be an emptiness there after removing which has to be concealed? How to conceal? What is the earliest/best time to remove them after placing?
Answer: Remove inferior orbital rim implant Yes they can be removed. At the same time, soof lift can help reduce the hollowness that would result from them. Filler injection is additional option to reduce the hollowness. But consultation is needed to determine if they should be removed and what should be done after.

Answer: Yes, they can be removed. Obviously why they are there in the first place and what would be needed with their removal very much depends on your unique circumstances. Generally these implants should not be used for volume replacement in the tear trough. The reason is that under eye fillers are so reliable for this service. I do have many Europeans who travel to Beverly Hills for under eye fillers with me. Generally the filler service is fussy and requires an artistic eye. However, done well it is very good. I reserve rim implants for structural purposes typically after catastrophic lower eyelid surgery as part of the reconstructive process. What you will need will ultimately require a personal assessment.

Answer: Omnipor orbital implant Thank you for your question. The omnipor implant is a porous polyethylene implant, these can be removed. Due to the implant being porous, the expectation is that you will have vascular ingrowth, the closer to the time of implantation the easier it is to have these removed, ideally if the first several months after they were placed. The facial appearance will be similar to the appearance prior to placing the implants, so if they were placed for volume loss you will most certainly notice that volume loss with them removed. I would recommend discussing with your surgeon your options to address your specific concerns regarding the implants.
