Infraorbital implants? (SUMMONING HIGH IQ'S)

What happened? Are Infras temporary? I saw Eppley say a few days ago that the surrounding structure adapts to the implant so over time the effect of the implant decreases. I didn’t know it was that quick though, I thought he meant like 5-10 years
Dr. Eppley is a capable surgeon, however, his ethics are very questionable. He uses silicone implants which he and anyone with a bit of experience know erode the bone and are very likely to cause an array of problems.

Legal or approved does not mean right. There are much better standards than what he sadly offers.

Price? Can he fix nct with infras or cantho only ?
about 9k, it's part of several procedures so that 9k is without the operation room/anesthesia etc.
As for your second question, no clue.

Hope it will ascend you ngl. Its the sole thing you doing that day? And do you have negative tilt?

Thanks :)
I have a neutral tilt, I'm mainly doing it to correct under eye hollowness/some slight assymetry.
I'm also doing a wraparound jaw implant.

He is throwing neck lipo and other things like that in there - he is good at selling his stuff.

I am currently working with one of his ex-patients. He had two custom implants with Eppley and still isn't happy. Friend, why would you do silicone? Please read the forums around here.

Also, you will easily pay over 20K and that is not necessary these days.

As far as I understand, it's some minor bone resorption that can occur, nothing that would have any clinical relevance. Feel free to correct my if I'm wrong though. Personally I haven't been worrying about that. Feel free to DM me more details though as to what issues his ex patient is dealing with.
 
Those are infraorbital rim implants and in my opinion, a complete scam. You'll regret wasting money on it.
Just have a projected maxilla, use vitamin c serum,and maybe some concealer and dark circles won't be an issue.
Some post op bimax patients have their dark circles gone after from what I know
What about infraorbital saddle implants for lateral projection + my zygomatic arch projection? Seems like it’s worth it if you have flat midface tbh.

Does this only happen with silicone implants? He didn’t mention them specifically

I prefer to communicate publicly so others can learn from these experiences. Unless you have personal pictures or personal data like emails, phone numbers, or any other similar needs, use the PMs.

Why would you want to pay over 20k with no assurances?

You are literally buying an automobile with no warranties.

Most people are NEVER satisfied with their first procedure, why would you do that to yourself?

Please read my previous threads and comments here.

Also, read this. I came late to this thread

What he is saying is correct. However, he left out another pile of information. I can produce other surgeons who can say that silicon implants ought to be banned.

I have CT scans from guys and gals where I can see the damage caused by silicone. Now, we are ONLY talking about erosion here.

Silicone implants cost $600 and this is the ONLY AND REAL REASON why doctors still use them. They are not illegal, but they sure are terrible. They can easily shift even after they gave been "screwed". Unlike older guys like myself, you guys are lucky you have this and other similar forums where you can learn from real patients.

Oh I was thinking more of concerns for the guy you mentioned.
Well, obviously you're taking a chance when your doing this, which I've been fine with.

My implants is pretty conservative, keywords being correcting asymmetry as well as overall sharpness.
I've had 3 online consultations with him and overall I'm pretty happy with the final design.

Ok! Do you have any warranties?

It seems to me as though you have entered the denial zone where you must justify your decisions and will defend your doctor. You are nervous and don't know what to do because you have planned a lot.

Vacation or time off from work, family or friends, and money. All of these things will not let you think straight.

You are at the point where you are willing to "RISK" it.

I have had FOUR procedures and three wraparounds.

Bud, you will do what you will, but you wouldn't be here if your gut feeling weren't telling you that something is 100% right.

There are other alternatives. Good luck, sincerely.

Yes, they must be customized. Anything else is absolutely stupid. Don't go with Eppley though. He uses silicone and his designs are usually poor.

you seem knowledgeable about eye surgeries, would you recommend someone to get them if they have below average eye area? Not so bad that it’s noticeable to normies but slight NCT and slightly droopy lower eyelid. And do you know if the results are permanent / do they have side effects like with implants for example worsening the bone structure over time?

"Would you recommend someone to get them if they have a below-average eye area?"
My expertise is in custom implants, bony structure, and aesthetics - not eye surgery.


"Do they have side effects like with implants, for example, worsening the bone structure over time?"
Implants do not "worsen" any bones unless you are referring to silicone implants which I would never use or recommend.

This is 100% the move I believe. A combination of infra orbital rim implants + fat repositioning right under the eye for those bags

How much would infras + fat grafting Cost ? And whats the problem with filers? Do they absorb or change place? If so can you refil every few years rather them wageslaving For one big surgery not many can afford
 
Quick question, can infraorbital-malar implants cause a stretching effect on the skin of the lower portion of your face, if you had a legit upper face recession?

Filters don’t fix the problem like fat grafting does. It’s like a 1 year makeup. Fat grafting modifies the soft tissue, which directly fixes the problem brought on by black circles.

Fillers don’t dissolve properly and can migrate to the parts of your face you’d like to be hollow. It’s going to give you a asymmetrical look.

Fillers = 1 - 2 years
Fat repositioning = 10 - 15 years

It’s easy to mess up the operation. That’s why it’s best to go the top doctors in the world.

My guess for just fat repositioning would be $5k. Plus infras and around $15-20k altogether

So a combination of custom implants and fat grafting could theoretically fix the problem. I mean if you think about it logically, if you have excess skin and a lack of volume to actually "fill" that skin, it's going to sag. So in theory adding volume shouldn't stretch the already saggy, excess skin, but should place it in its natural intended location, aka it would stretch the way it's meant to over a larger volume. At least that's my take on it, I guess we'd need to ask a surgeon to be sure.

Also, I guess these are American prices, I got quoted on custom infraorbital-malar by an Italian surgeon €9k. Much, much cheaper. But if you'd have to fly over to get it, might not be so cheap. Luckily I'm right next to Italy. Cheers

Yeah the logic follows so in theory it should work out. But these questions are best to ask during your consultation as the surgeon as seen hundreds of results and operations.

Soft tissue is unpredictable but top surgeons have simulations that predict to a good accuracy

It yea good luck

just a little over 5mm in projection already completely altered the look of my face, i can't imagine getting more than that just to have completely sal free undereyes, i looked legit gook right after surgery.

if i got like 7-8mm with more saddle projection i might have gotten the result you're looking for. but ion think that would look natural on my face.

Is that 5k for custom? Even for standard that’s cheap as fuck.


not sure...saw it on a YELP review. Dr Lawrence has good reviews and credentials...doesnt seem main stream so maybe that could be the reason it's more affordable. who knows really.


I asked a few places and most start around the 7k in Toronto.
