Am I delusional or would infra-orbital (saddled) implants ascend me?

I think my only true failo (besides maybe light, thin eyebrows) is my lower-orbital rims? Any thoughts on this. Im willing to drop 20-30k into implants for correction.

I think if done correctly, an infra-orbital implant would ascend me

Any other surgery recommendations btw?

No. You’re capped tbh idk what surgery would do for you.

I don’t think it’s your biggest problem mate.
Your ratios look weird, but firstly you should do something about your eyebrows and imo fat graft both of your eyelids

capped at? I want ur opinion
You have good bone mass but something about your harmony is off. You also need to improve your skin and coloring. I would say mtn rn but you should be able to push into htn range

I agree something with my harmony is off. I believe its in my midface. I think my maxilla is forward grown, but i have very large orbitals - which is exacerbated by a pretty severe recession of the lower rim. The ruined transition from my lower half to upper half is just brutal.
And i think a conservative custom implant is what would peice together my whole face.

My coloring has improved fuck loads the past 2 weeks cus ive started melanotan, in these photos im just starting to get a tan from my usual very pale tone

His skin looks great, coloring needs to dye eyebrows dark and maybe die hair more blond?

I can see why you think rim implants would bring everything together, it’s just a big operation that can really make people look quite uncanny. Maybe try a conservative option first like filler or fat graft to get an idea.
 
It’s texture. Look like sun damage I think
yes, im sunburnt in the last pic i sent.

ive been tanning moderately heavily the past 2 weeks because i just started melanotan

I would definitely get the implants done by a surgeon who specializes like Pagnoni and get custom implants from face scans. The risk is something I am heavily considering though. I have seen some botched ones and it looks really bad when done wrong, but it seems like that can be mitigated with the saddled custom design and a credible surgeon.

A fat graft might be a good idea. I dont think filler will work because of how my soft tissue overcorrects to compensate for the lack of bone growth to support my lower eye lids; im probably not eligble
 
Midface looks short to me
This would be explained by the combination of a very large orbital rim (runs in my family) with the lack of infraorbital rim development correct? The protrusion of the implant should correct the midface as it doesn't seem like a lack of forward growth to me

Yeah I was about to say coloring looks good. Your skin overall looks good in the sense that you don’t have acne/blemishes but increasing your actual collagen and making ur skin smoother would also ascend you a bit. Do you use tretinoin or any retinoid? Thats the last piece of the puzzle for your skin to rid it of any texture/imperfections. Vitamin C would help too, and dermastamping for any residual scarring/blemishes.

im on tret for about 3 months now. only .0025 but imma probably up it to .01 when I run out. I also blast test so i have to use the tret or my skin would probably be cooked

Agreed on the harmony but it’s not too bad. I have the same deal going on as far as high bone mass and uncanny harmony.

It might also be something related to your mandible/gonion/ramus shape in general. Or the brow ridge projection. Maybe u could get brow ridge shaving like trannies do in order to make it more proportionate with your lower orbitals, but I’m not the most knowledgeable surgery guy so maybe that’s a stupid idea.

Im convinced its my recessed lower rims, and because of that, my malar cheekbones that totally nerf my face

maybe im blind to other flaws though

Your situation is peculiar because you are very ccw'ed and a compact midface but the infras are not that strong. I see the problem but I worry an implant would make you look bloated.

Could you elaborate on the bloated look? my understanding was the implant could be very natural looking if its conservative, and correct asymmetry in the midface if custom designed correctly

The issue is that your midface is so compact. I saw a black guy with a bone structure not unlike yours who got implants but looked too bloated so ended up getting a jaw surgery downgraft and then some new implants. Mind you those were implants closer to that first design you posted. Ones like the other two (of the sort Taban does) are just these tiny little wafers that they slide into the infra region; I could see you maybe benefitting from something like that but personally at that point I would just do fat grafts to avoid potential implant complications. If you were to get a big surgery, downgraft would be the place to start.

One thing u might wanna consider is how low ur nose bridge projection is. You could end up looking uncanny. Personally i wouldnt do it. I think your phenotype (im assuming white australian) is meant to look like that.

I just need a few mm - only laterally extended in the inframalar region to fix the vector, nothing aggressive but just to replace what I lack.

His middle third is overly short, just look at his nose

I think your problem is having low set cheekbones which creates an under eye hollow. The problem with implants is that they sometimes make the face look bloated if you already have decent forward growth and they are also harder to blend in in such cases. It would be useful for you to have a CT scan

I see what you guys mean. I do have low set cheekbones, *because of my large ass orbitals and lower rim recession

What I'm gathering is that infra implants could help me, because they would essentially extend my midface higher (by structurally filling in the tissue extending over my eyes)
but there is large room for error if not done conservatively to look natural

This guy? He was botched by taban cus of the shitty pre-made implant with no saddle or medial extension

No, you have "low set cheekbones" (you don't), because your middle third is too short
It's your problem, your infras are fine.

Pm me a pic of front with you eyes visible, I will show you what im talking about

thank you for the morph.

I'm pretty wary of filler though, because id be afraid of migration. Thoughts on rhino plus implants instead?

@flatcheck213 Peep morph. Still think midface is short? I think the orbital correction seems to fix the midface like I need
