Can I Get Filler After Infraorbital-Malar Implants?

Q: Dr. Eppley, At 3 months post infraorbital malar implant surgery is it safe to get under eye/cheek filler? I never had a lot of fat in that area so I need the soft tissue augmentation. Also is getting botox, microneedling (at home or in clinic) etc pose any infection risk to the implants?

A:With any facial implant any form of injection over it is safe as long as the injector knows that an implant is underneath it so they can avoid going to deep and encountering the implant capsule or the implant itself.
