Mid cheek lift OK to work on patients who had submalar/malar inserted?

Question

I had submalar/malar implant inserted years ago to rescue the damaging cheek from previous blotched procedure. However with the implants they only lifted 50% of the drooping cheek and I now still have jowl around corner of my mouth + deep nasolabial fold. Has any surgeons had any success to work with patients w submalar/malar implants inserted to perform a mid cheek lift to lift up the jowl around corner of mouth?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

The area adjacent to the mouth does not change significantly with a cheekpad lift. However, one can definitely do a cheekpad lift when you have malar implants
