Can I Get A Lower Blepharoplasty If I Have Custom Cheek Implants?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I had Custom Jawline & Custom Bilateral Cheek Implants four years ago. I am considering a lower blepharoplasty (for dark circles and slight bags under my left eye) in Seoul (I’m living in Asia now) and just wondering if there are any limitations or considerations I should be aware of when undergoing the lower blepharoplasty.

A: Your cheek implants involve implant material on the infraorbital rims. This does not preclude doing a lower blepharoplasty but your surgeon should know it is there. The implant material should be treated just like it is bone.
