Any good real-life results from Infraorbital Implants? Worth it over fillers/fat grafts?

Title pretty much;

I'd like to see some actual results from infraorbital implants interventions;

I am considering it at the moment, weighing the pros and cons with fillers, for rather poor undereye and periorbital support (I had Bimax, changes in eye area were minimal).

I'm 25, so I'm mewing anyway, without a lot of expectations

please answer cause most of the infraorbital rim implants I see r not that good tbh

I also didnt see any outstanding result
First vertically ugmentation implants are rare
Plus for upper eye mlf3 is the best

I personally see no point to them at all. Lower eyelid retraction is practically what it should achieve but with better results + often more inexpensive.

Id only get it if your infra is extremaly recessed otherwise fat grafts
 
Here are my before and afters from IO rim implants, keep in mind I leaned out a lot in the after picture as I was bulking in the first one, you can still see the effect of the implant though.

Great results man, if I could get those same results with one intervention, I would be ecstatic, I think it would solve my problem.

Problem is always the same; results may vary with surgeons, and patient's individual characteristics.

May I ask you what surgeon did you go with?

Thanks
 
A lot of Tabans results look really natural

Dr. Apostolakis in Austin, TX but keep in mind I did a custom implant too as the generic ones just aren't that great

Yes, the consensus seems to be that generic implants aren't worth it.

But that was the point of the thread; looking for actual real-world results for generic infraorbital implants, in order to be able to form a clearer picture of what it looks like in real life

i need to see a doctor who customizes it so it has vertical projection higher than your existing infra orbitals, that's what will support the eyelid better.

if you want to see, go to taban's office and see his catalog.
most of the results are not shared by public.

How does mlf3 impact the upper eye? Also are there any photos of MLF3 showing the eye changes? I've seen some MLF3 results but the pictures blurred out the eyes in them.

Eppley has done that many times in his zygo implants, raises the infraorbital rim quite a lot, as you see here:

look under his lower eyelid, it went from below average lower eyelid support to top tier support

yes i see, it's less hollow, but he didn't had scleral show to begin with. His issue was his natural rounded eyes - because low PFL -, somebody like me would unironically benefit way more from lower lid retraction but even for me i feel like unless exceptions, eye surgery isn't a life changer on men

I feel like the results where surgeons pull/lift soft tissue like canthoplexy, always look a little unnatural. I wonder if the lower eyelid can be raised simply by implants which raise the infraorbital rim position.

i have never heard that it could, but technically it's not impossible but wouldn't it be too risky if the implant are too close to the eyes to rise up the eyelid?
Imo what looks unatural is these kind of surgeries when they touch too much the cantalt tilt when it's usually not needed.
i'm definitively certain that a certain degree of PCT is feminine looking.

yeah PCT is feminine for sure. You can have slanty eyes without PCT, your just need the orbitals to be strong enough so that the inside lower eyelid is high set, then you get that aesthetic curve to the lower eyelid, up-down-and up again at the edge.

'Hunter eyes' without PCT, because his infraorbitals are incredibly strong, giving that up-down-up shape to his lower eyelid. His eyes MOG Sean O'Pry's for me, just as aesthetic but way more masculine because no PCT.

I agree that's a trend i saw from algerians dude who look fairly white !
Insane.
My best friend is from that pheno too, and has the tighest UES i ever saw, he can't even squint.
And doesn't have PCT either, but that looks same as zidane aesthetic asf.
Over for poor UEScels like me.

North Africans are indeed slayers, probably because of their history. They've been invaded and raped by Italy, Spain, Arabs and Moors, so a lot of genetic diversity in them.

1. he not only got infraorbital rim implants but if i recall it correctly he also got canthoplasty and eyelid retraction surgery. the change of eyeshape are result of these two procedures not of infraorbital rim implants

2. i dont find this result particular good. he gets eye area mogged by alain delon even though alain has bigger eyes and resembles him more in the before picture

taban has some pretty good results (normally containing some form of orbital decompression) and this isnt one of them imho. sometimes tabans patients just end up looking like they are looking in the sun

he had decent lower eyelid support to begin with and it went to god tier support. looks good tbh. any subhuman lowereyelid people who did this?

No that I've seen

what eppley wrote:
  1. There is no true preformed infraorbital rim implants that actually sir or cup the rim itself.
  2. Custom infraorbital rim implants are design to sit along the rim and increase its vertical height.
  3. An infraorbital rim fracture can displace the normal smooth and horizontal shape of the lower bony rim.
i think this combined with fat grafting will provide a much better result than going to taban in terms of making the eye area more compact.

My mom had fat graft under her eyes, it looks incredibly natural and aesthetic. Permanent too, so definitely better than filler imo.

We have to ask Eppley if the fat graft can be done after implants, or if the 2 would interfere with each other, then we're set.

Yeah fat graft results are very good to see. Try emailing him, he's the only doc I know who does the vertical projection so far

I'm blacklisted, asked him too much shit without showing intent to get surgery

It depends on your level of recession.

It may be quite financially infeasible to inject copious amounts of filler in order to provide infraorbital projection if you have quite significant recession.

I'm not a fan of solely having infraorbital implants if the entire mid-face is recessed - which, most of the time, it usually is.

You could consider a malar shell implant to provide lateral projection to your face, which will help create the appearance of a more pronounced cheekbone, or sub-malar facial implant to attain a neutral or positive orbital vector.

Except when you burn fat grafts cells away because of retin-a use
