Will Custom Facial Implants Become Obvious As I Age?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I saw on Dr. Eppley’s website the different types of implants he uses and I’m also wondering if there’s any connection with the implants and structure of the face over time? Will the implants have to be adjusted over time? Will they be more obvious if skin loses laxity?

A: In answer to your questions:

1) The implant material used has no differences on the bony implantation site. The bone largely remains unchanged underneath it.

2) All implant materials are structurally stable, they did not change position or form over time.

3) This is a central midface position where no significant skin laxity really occurs with aging.
