How does one tell if cheekbone implants are a good idea?

[HorseMan7]

My face is downward grown and I'm trying to get double jaw surgery. Since the midface/cheekbones sit on top of the jaws, downward growth of might affect them too. I wonder if cheekbone implants should be done with all bimax surgeries.

Normally if you are downward grown your whole face will look retruded, so implants for the forehead zygos orbits is normally done for a match to a bimax advancement

Depends, you just look at the CT scan. And also for sfs it usually not needed because the upper part of the face is well developed. But yes with downward growth it's usually necessary.
