Very educated question. The answer is that we make a notch in the implant if it touches the nerve, the notch allows the implant to fit around the nerve without touching it. Many times the implant is below the foramen so in most cases it is not near the nerve.
Can a cheek implant and infraorbital rim implant fitted years ago become infected if you have a lower blepharoplasty, canthopexy? ie. If I got an infection from the eyelid surgery is there a risk it could spread below the periosteum to the implants?
Hi, is it possible for these implants to be customized to increase facial definition (hollowish look) without decreasing my eye seperation ratio due to the added bizygomatic width?
I have very very small cheeks which creates a hollow cheeks. I am thinking of that approach prior to any face lift considerations. I am deficient in both areas.
Hi Dr Niamtu, when one gets cheek implants, do you feel that there is a feeling of the implant pressing against your bone in the healing stage, like a sort of sensation?
Dear Dr Niamtu. I recently had a deep plant face lift with fat transfers to mid face. I had severe fat loss in my face due to prior SMAS plication that fell to lower face. I had been 9 month since my deep plane and I am seeing fat reabsorption from my transfers. I am 67 years and my plastic surgeon is considering cheek implants. Am I am too old and how will it affect my deep plane face lift and prior fat transfers. Will the implant fall with fat loss. I presently have a chin implant and it looks great with neck lift. Thank you.
thankyou Dr. I have indentation in one of my temples from previous blepharoplasties. Would cheek implants emphasize those dents? Also , could cheek implants help with smoothing under eye expression lines or would they be pushed up higher to become side of eye crows feet?
Hi Dr. My surgeon agreed to take out the implants he put(they are located very lateral). I showed him your video and the location of the submalar implant and he said you can’t put an implant there due to the infraorbital nerve? Is that right? The submalar implant is what I need to correct my volume loss so there is no solution to this?
@@jniamtuiii Thank you so much. Do you think its a complicated procedure? It seems my surgeon didn’t do much of this kind of implant. I’m afraid he can cause some damage if the nerve is involved
Can these kind of implants be used for men with small lower jaw bones ,,, weak chins ,,, I had teeth extractions as a teenager and my jaw bone srink and I hate the appearance of my lower face ,,,and I dont want major surgery something that goes all the way to the bone but just under my skin to make my lower jaw appear balanced with the rest my face.

Hi.. I just went through a cheek implant surgery and it looks wrong. The implants the surgeon put made my face looking wider and distorted. Upon your presentation, I understand I need the submalar implant to give the anterior fullness under my eyes. How quickly can I remove the implants and to switch it to submalar? The emotional toll is huge as my face look distorted. I hope you’ll see this🙏🏻
I can't give med advice, but it is very common for patients to be concerned about result right after surgery. I tell my patients to wait 6 weeks and if they don't like them we can switch them out. Speak with your surgeon
@@jniamtuiii Thank you. I don’t think I’ll be happy with the result as the surgeon put wrong implant in wrong place. I’ve asked him precisely for anterior fullness as my anterior cheek is hollow. I wish I’ve encountered your video before the surgery. I think I need a large/XL submalar implant(as you said it is suitable in 99% of cases). Do you accept patients from abroad and Do you perform an online consultation? Thank you🙏🏻
If you use a medium submalar do you also choose a projection size? I just had cheek implants in January and they are medium but I feel like they project too much. My under eye hollows are also terrible now. I didn’t even know I had under eye hollows until I got the implants. Could this mean they are too large? I’m open to revision to get it right.
Dr niamtu I have a lil bit of injected silicone on my cheeck about 28 years ago my lipfolds are very noticeable now can the shell implant help lift the cheeck improving the lipfold at the same time ?
Dr. Niamtu I think cheek implants are right for me but I want to choose a surgeon who's very experienced in this, such as yourself. I'm in Michigan. Do you have any colleagues in my area that you would be willing to vouch for?
Joe Niamtu Thank you for the reply! I enjoyed your videos and appreciate the information.

Implants are fine over deep plane and fat. If they are secured with microscrews (I always do that) they won't ever fall or move
@@jniamtuiii Thanks for your reply...
Does the cheek recover good if they are removed? Or is there permanent damage?
There are really no problems when they are removed, same as when filler dissolves.
Hi, do you need screws for these?
do you use paranasal implants also ?
Sorry, I don't
i want to see the full video about cheek inplants
Hi, I have a question if you have the time. Will a cheek implant help smooth nasolabial folds?
Yes, it can help a bit, in the same way that cheek filler helps NL folds. It will not make them go away, but some improvment.
Joe Niamtu thank you for your reply. I am interested in you specifically and will be contacting your office soon. Do you offer NL implants also?
thankyou Dr. I have indentation in one of my temples from previous blepharoplasties. Would cheek implants emphasize those dents? Also , could cheek implants help with smoothing under eye expression lines or would they be pushed up higher to become side of eye crows feet?
Implants don't do much in those areas, mainly the center of the face
Also does the surgery leave a scar ?
The scar is in the mouth, so it can't be seen

Big difference. Rim implants are actually high at the orbital rim, malar are lower on the cheek.
@@jniamtuiii so I'm assuming the infraorbital rim will give a patient the deep set eye/sunken eye appearance is that correct?
