Should Cheek Implants Be Placed Through The Lower Eyelid Or Intraorally?
Q: Dr. Eppley, Hello I don’t have pictures to upload I’m just looking for your opinion on this: In your opinion is it ever really necessary to place malar or submalar cheek implants in through an eyelid incision? Or could this be accomplished intraorally.
A: While a lower eyelid approach is one method for placing any form of a cheek implant, that is more commonly done by Eye surgeons as that is what they are most comfortable performing. However, the intraoral approach is far more commonly performed.
