Are my cheek implants bad ?

[zlatan65]

I had a bimax 2 years ago (12mm advancement on the maxila, yes I had no jaw at all).
Now I am planning for cheek implants with my surgeon mainly because the surgeries left me with weird bags on the cheeks as you can see.
He planned regular porous titanium malar implants, 3 mm advancement.

But I have doubts it is the right fit for me, I think it's not high enough and especially because I have the bags already, I think it will make me look chipmunkmaxxx....
I told him I wanted more high cheekbone implants with infraorbital rim as I have horrible under eye area but he refused it saying I don't need it and malar is sufficient (it's a public hospital, I pay nothing but the surgeons are bluepilled).
I will get a jaw angle implant (10 mm on the left side only) at the same time as I am very asymetric.
He also plans a geniosplaty to make my chin less vertical and more forward, to improve my gonial angle from side and front.

Do you think it will be sufficient to make me look human ?
As it's free, I could at least try it, then maybe if I feel like I want better cheek and eye area some day, is it possible to put custom PEEK high cheek implants (with zygomatic arch and infra orbital rim) on top of it ? I know titanium fuse mix with bones but it should be possible to fix in on top or just by it ?

I mean even with the implants they look flat I can’t imagine it being even more flat

 

[iseeblue9]

wtf is that design

 

[zeek]

They’re low set and only 3mm
Not gonna do shit

You are under supported and sagging
Will require soft tissue work/ lifting

Based on your pics a revision genio to move your chin more forward will not look good but I can’t tell if your teeth are together/mouth closed

The jaw angle is probably ok but you’ll want to mirror the other side as much as possible

Would save yourself the trauma of the cheek implants they won’t help you

 

[Realism]

They won't do shit. Don't get them, you'll end up regretting it.
What the fuck is that absolute dumpster of a design.

 

[zlatan65]

Yeah that's what I thought as well but public hospital surgeons are so conservative, they don't to do anything too risky and always stay conservative way too much, pussies
I guess I need higher implants and bigger
In case I can't convince him, would it be possible to put custom cheek implants later with a blackpilled surgeon on top of those implants if I find it really doesn't fit me ?

 

[geenk worg]

this design doesn't make any sense to be honest.

What is your age? You didn't have bags like that before the surgery? Do you know what about your surgery caused them? How much was your mandible advanced and rotated? Any impaction or downgraft?

The cheek implants will not improve your look and if anything will make you look bloated. You need to have the rim saddled and the contour generally following the higher parts of your zygomatic arch. I understand they would be free but you would really regret it. You will also need a midface lift after the implants to solve the sagging.

which country? why do they do it for free?

No, that would be an absolute terrible idea.
Get it right the first time.

Can saddle infra make cheekbone look higher set.i have prominent low set cheekbones

I recommend you to listen to these 2 sagacious men, OP.

Also, 12mm maxilla movement is insane. Are you sure of it? What landmark was used as reference?

In theory yeah. In practice this makes no sense.

Even with the best surgeons, implants are very hit or miss, so odds are you would already need a revision to begin with - therefore, you will need not only to get new implants, but probably revise them. Then add midface lift, soft tissue work, etc... you see where I'm going? It becomes more like a shopping list than 1 correction you had in mind to fix.

Be careful

Who is the surgeon btw?

Implants are cope and unreliable osteotomies or nothing

 

[iseeblue9]

get the fuck away from here

 

[ascending birdcel]

they look fake most of the time and if you get them wrong it's 10-15k down the drain very good choice

how fake is this

you can have good results ofc but on top of any surgery complication you have to deal with design and how it fits your soft tissues and long term complications (infections , bone resorption , revisions etc..) i would only get them if i had no other choice to improve that area

There is no greater option than customized implants today.
Wait for your “better option” that doesn’t look fake afterwards till 20 years because the demand in male plastic surgery isn’t going anywhere up the plateau

 

[lookmaxxer998]

No, doesn’t matter if they’re free. Stressing the infraorbital nerve twice is a bad idea and increases the chances of loss of sensation. Also 3mm implants don’t give 3mm projection. There is some compression effect of the soft tissue so you’ll actually get negligible results. Not to mention you’ll under go general anesthesia twice.

Just get a better design and pay out of pocket the first time. Bc the implant design is also garbage

Thanks for the advice, you're probably right, do you know how much it would cost me if I did good custom implants in PEEK in say Mexico ? I heard it's cheaper

 

[zlatan65]

Would a design like this fit my need ?

 

[lookmaxxer998]

Yea, something similar to that ( get saddled implants if you have retracted lower eyelids). As for Mexico, I don't know tbh. I would say be careful. Sometimes, the designer and the surgeon might be fine but I have heard of anesthesia complications from a few people who went there.
