Can I Get Saddled Infraorbital Implants Made Out of PEEK?
Q: Dr. Eppley, do you do saddled infraorbital implants with PEEK? If so, what kind of incision do you use to insert them?
A:In the United States PEEK is not a material that is allowed to be used for custom facial implants for aesthetic purposes. It is not approved by the FDA for any craniofacial bone application below the level of the skull.
