"Facial Skeletal Reconstruction Using Porous Polyethylene Implants"

A retrospective review of clinical outcomes was performed to determine the clinical utility and morbidity associated with the use of porous polyethylene facial implants. Three hundred seventy implants were placed in 162 consecutive patients, in 178 operations performed in 11 years.

why does the dude's ogee curve improve so much from his second surgery. he had infras and malars in his first surgery, but ogee curve still nonexistent in results, but then midface lift makes it appear as though there is way more cheek volume

That's fascinating, because when I lift my cheek up like this (essentially mimicking a midface lift), my cheekbones look much bigger.

Maybe something to do with the fat pad placements?

Same here. I suspect it is fat pad placement, which means that it's only going to look lower and lower with age.
