what’s the minimum projection for the infraorbital bone

[maxilla-not-found]

i’m looking at infraorbital rim implants and my infraorbital bone is 3mm behind my iris, what mm thickness should i ask for with an implant

@maxilla-not-found you have slightly positive vector right now, idk if you'd gain anything from infras. No eyebags / undereye hollowness either. Wouldn't be surprised if surgeons just straight up decline to do the implant for you, let me know if they do cause I'm curious

The skin under eyes (where infraorbital bone is) is slightly blue-ish but that's because it's naturally thinner there + less fat.
I got infras and they fixed hollowness / eyebags + provided some volume for midface but the blue-ish colouring is still there, we both would need fat grafts there but I talked to an ophthalmologist surgeon and he advised against it, too much of a risk that the fat graft will not smooth out properly for a negligible reward

Don’t need them. Only consider if you have bad sclera show

thanks for the great answer, i will consult for the implants and was going to go for fat graphs if i was declined, although i read somewhere that it’s quite hard for under eye fat graphs to attach as there isn’t a lot of fat there anyway
