Is it possible to make customized medpor cheek implants?

Sesibl''e470920Mar 4, 2021
Hello, So I wanted to get Medpor design M malar implants in size large (69x19x7x19) but they don't have any more of this size of implant. So I would like to know if it is possible to get customized implants of this size. Thank you.
