About to begin the process of getting custom infra/cheekbone implants. What should I look out for? Which surgeons to consult in EU?

Hi, as the title says, I will be getting custom implants for my cherkbones/infraorbital area. I will be getting a joint implants that covers this entire area, possibly even lateral orbital rim (pic related is what I think I need). I will be getting a CBCT scan of my skull and sending it out to a few surgeons. Now the main concern is, who do I consult (Ramieri is one of my choices), I am planning to get surgery in 6 months to a year. Also, what should I be on the lookout for? PEEK or other materials? How do I get a decent, natural looking result?

How do I get a decent, natural looking result?

What constitutes as "natural looking" to you? Because 99% of malar implant before and afters are underwhelming and show almost 0 noticeable difference

Do you know how many mm of projection you want? A picture of your side profile would help

By natural-looking I mean that I don’t look operated on to a random passerby, family of course might notice, but a random person shouldn’t be able to tell I’ve had work done. Don’t want to end up looking botched, like the Bogdanoffs. I would try and get as much projection as I can, without looking uncanny. I like this result by Yaremchuk, obviously he’s had other work done, but the difference is clearly visible, I like this high-cheekbone result. I cannot afford Yaremchuk, but this is what I am trying to emulate, since the guy had obvious upper midface deficiency. I guess projection would depend on my underlying bone structure, so I cannot guess how much projection that would be. Is there some sort of a rule-of-thumb for this? Also, any actual good results from anyone other than some obscure ones? I remember one user here having custom implants done for a high-cheekbone look, really good result.

I have a similar under eye area to you and I fraud with BB cream. Where did you get the custom implants made? If I get any hardmaxx it would be infraorbital rim implants.

I did not get them made yet. I was thinking pf going to Ramieri, but not sure if that is a good idea. I plan on doing it in Europe since I live here, flying over to America and getting Yaremchuk or someone to do it would be too expensive. I will look into BB cream, thanks for the suggestion. Even after getting orbital and malar implants, I believe I will still look like shit, just not as recessed. I need to do something about my lower face, I don’t need a bimax since my bite is ok, but I lack angularity and I look chubby despite being super skinny. I was thinking of buccal fat removal but that on its own probably won’t be enough. Any suggestions?

Looking chubby and being super skinny is unusual.
What body fat %?
It could be because you're very young but that's unlikely given your join date.
It could be that your aldosterone (and water retention) is a bit messed up if you're taking oral minoxidil.
It could also be that the problem is greater in your own eyes so consult a friend.
It could be a hypertrophied buccinator due to overuse so look into ways to stop doing that (e.g. if you suck on a lot of straws).

Tbh man I think you're currently l/mmtn - probably go to hmtn after rim implants. I think you're skipping on a few softmaxxes that would help you.
Eyelashes: minoxidil, dye your eyelashes blue-black, curl them a bit.
Masseter: could use more definition - you can fraud a bit with some beard grooming techniques but I'd try chewing those rubbers from amazon.
Lips: very defined cupid's bow which is good - get red vaseline to make them a bit more contrasted.

After that I wouldn't be surprised to see you at htn.
