I will be getting both jaw and suborbital/zygo implants later this year/early next year with a 3 - 6 month gap in-between depending on how fast the swelling dissipates.
But I am not sure which implant to get first.
Information about myself
1) I have a narrow and asymmetrical jaw that can only be fixed with an implant that increases my bi-gonial width. My forward growth of my lower third and gonial angle is fine. My chin is not recessed.
2) I have undereye hollowness due to a lack of bone support from my cheekbones which are recessed. I also have 'puffy cheeks' stemming from the lack of upper maxilla/zygos support.
3) My bi-zygomatic width is not a big problem although I may try to increase it by a couple mm's.
4) I have droopy lower eyelids and UEE from the lack of cheekbone support so I will likely need to a canthopexy as well (my canthal tilt is surprisingly positive so I don't need a canthoplasty).
5) I have a relatively short mouth (1.42 mouth/nose ratio).
My questions to users who have knowledge about this and/or have had these procedures done themselves
1) Can jaw implants affect lower eyelids making them more droopy?
2) If I respect my facial ratios and only focus on fixing my falios, does it matter too much which order I get the implants in?
3) If I plan on slightly increasing my bi-zygomatic width, is it better to get the io/zygo implants first as I assume the bi-gonial width will be determined by % of my bi-zygomatic width or am I wrong about that?
Any advice here or in PM is appreciated.
