Am I A Good Candidate For Infraorbital Rim Implants?

Q: Dr. Eppley, on first glance do i look like the right candidate for infraorbital rim implants and fat grafting around upper and lower eye area? for an overall fully harmonised face as i think that area slightly breaks harmony. 

A:Thank you for your inquiry and sending your pictures. When you have a significant orbital rim skeletal deficiency fat grafting has no role in its augmentation. This requires a custom infra lateral orbital rim design to provide adequate augmentation to treat what is a 3-D orbital rim recession. Fortunately you have fairly good lower eyelid position although a spacer graft of the lower lid would be helpful to extend the augmentation as highest possible up to the lash line where implant cannot reach.
