Amber Heard -Why I Hate Cheek Implants!

[@royzlatanestevez9843]

The problem is that half of the doctors railing against cheek implants will be fans of fillers (Dr. Prasad), while the other half will be fans of fat (Dr. Karam). Then, of course, there are doctors who love cheek implants (Dr. Niamtu) as much as you hate them. Every method has as many supporters as it has detractors, even among professionals who you'd think actually KNOW what works best and what doesn't work. And they don't even have a discussion about it, where one responds to the arguments of the other. We just have a collection of stand-alone statements of surgeons telling us why method A/B/C is good and everything else sucks. This makes this field impossible to navigate.

[@nicholasbrown3443]

Niamtu is a dentist lol

Wow you have been watching lots of videos and have noticed the trend. I noticed the same trend. Excellent comment.

But fillers aren't any better! You really look puffy over time with them, and they migrate. I'm getting jowls and I really have a flat mid face, so I'd really like cheek implants.

[@mehreenansab9240]

Cheek implants, when done right, are ALWAYS better than fillers.

[@tmc14121]

Yes exactly. if you had weigh the pros and cons, implants outweigh fillers etc everytime...fillers will destroy your face over time and have to worry about about getting them every couple of months or so...fat filler will start to sag over time

[@AmayzArt]

Check Real Self, great pics.

Implants as minor enhancements are god like

[@Heliox98YT]

During my personal journey with improving my looks i considered custom cheek implants to get defined cheekbones, but then, after looking at 10/10 people a lot and studying it, i realised that real cheekbones are not necessarily big, but they are grown forward together with the lower face, in a way that makes the cheebones protrude on the upper side, but be flat on the lower. So a cheekbone implant could never achieve that because it is protruding forward independent of the lower face, result in it looking unnatural because it protrudes on the lower side as well. if that makes sense. but fillers are even more trash, they do literally nothing except make you look like your face is bloated permanently.

[@meriemhayat7447]

So what method did you choose at the end of the day?

[@jufrota8017]

Talvez mexer no osso, mas só com um bom cirurgião, e dói. O problema com os implantes é que os médicos que os encomendam não se importam com a naturalidade, eles só querem o seu dinheiro, eles nem prendem o implante para não se deslocar e te deformar. Talvez se os médicos que usam implantes fizessem o pedido pensado na naturalidade, medindo o rosto direito, prendendo o implante no osso para não se deslocar e você parece um vilão de filme de terror, os implantes ficassem naturais.

[@eileenm9252]

I’d say her choice of makeup of using dark blush over those cheeks was the most problematic… but yes the shapes of them are quite obvious.

[@Cookingcousin]

Thank you so much for your honesty, I love plastic surgeons who turn down money

[@DrRodRohrich]

@@Cookingcousin thanks so much

[@manaih5652]

As someone who’d love implants but decided against it, it’s not permanent as no implant is and as we age we lose bone density which causes issues for any implant as we age.

[@farinshore8900]

I would prefer to hear of the medical arguments rather than your own sense of taste.

[@gillyfranklin1550]

But what about the downsides/risks of autologous fat and dermal filler? Filler usually has to be repeated every 12-18 months or so (sometimes sooner depending on the individual) to maintain the effect which is not a cost-effective option, long-term. There is a risk of bruising, bleeding, infection and, more seriously, occlusion and necrosis every time you are injected. It's almost impossible to get the exact same aesthetic outcome consistently every time you 'top-up'. Filler can migrate - even when placed correctly and, as demonstrated by MRI scans, filler can stick around a lot longer than we thought in random parts of the face so it's less noticeable, leading to potential complications like chronic edema and an overall puffy look that so many people have these days. Autologous fat transfer seems like a better option in some ways but there is limited precision in terms of knowing how much of the injected fat will stay and how much will be reabsorbed into the body, potentially resulting in asymmetry/over or under-filling, and requiring additional procedures. Fat injections can also form visible and palpable lumps, particularly under the thin skin of the tear trough area, that have to be surgically excised. Is it not possible to customise each implant so that the overall effect is ~symmetrical~ on both sides and positioned in a way that is more natural? Do all implants cause bone erosion? Why does aging make implants look worse?

[@DrRodRohrich]

That is correct but that is better than having another surgery to remove cheek implants!

[@DrRodRohrich]

Fat augmentation is done well looks the best long Term

[@solimanel-deeb8922]

Fillers migrate, and they look heavy. Moreover, not all fats survive so you get some irregularities too. So what's left? Facelift? You may not even have enough fats to lift, which is in most cases.

[@djmandyland]

I have an extremely thin face and frustrating hollows, I get cheek filler but it ends up migrating and making me look like I have droopy puffy lower cheeks with completely flat middle cheek and upper cheek/cheekbone so I just look like I have some ugly pouches drooping down. It only looks good for the first week when I'm swollen. I am like tapped out money wise spending $1000 on filer every month because my body just metabolizes it so dang fast and or it migrates and looks so weird and droopy 😭 I don't really have any fat to do a fat transfer so I'm running out of options

[@DrRodRohrich]

Perhaps you should consider selective facial fat grafting is that does not migrate if properly placed

[@Larisaa]

dont get cheek plants. they look creepy

[@cityofangels4874]

im in the same situation! my face is super thin and i have hallow cheeks im looking like a skeleton at 28 my body goes through filler very quickly & the fat from the fat graft didn‘t last.. ughh im really thinking implants are my only choice! srsly i can‘t look any worse than i now do 😢

[@jamesalite-it8lu]

Fat transfer or grafting does not last at all for most patients period. It may last if y9u do it monthly for a long time but definitely disappear in most. So there are pros and cons. I think face fillers are best from my own experience

[@DrRodRohrich]

@@jamesalite-it8lu agreed

[@timsomerville6629]

Fillers are not any better... they cause buildup over time and are not always readily absorbed. Dr Rohrich; what are your thoughts on PEEK implants for cheek?

[@theamazingguy150]

What about infra orbital implants?

[@54321Adela]

What about patietns with underdeveloped jaws, jaw surgery can only reach so far up and for example narrow maxilla causes flat and unprojected cheekbones. Would those patientsa be ideal candidates for implants? Filler is nice but it doesnt resist gravity like an implant

[@dailydaily5243]

Hi Doc, can you talk about tear through implants? For sanken eyes people that want permanent volume to their under eyes thankyou ❤

[@lovepeace4065]

When you age and have loose skin you need a facelift. Don’t have implants or fat added. I’m not a surgeon but common sense and some education makes this obvious to me. No fillers or your own fat no .

[@artomeri7266]

At 1:11, I didn't get the point of "they did not move, and looked unnatural". Isn't an implant supposed to imitate bone? BONE should NOT move. So, i don't get the problem here.

[@omgski]

What is your opinion on infraorbital implants for hollow eyes? what in your opinion are the risks?

[@DrRodRohrich]

I do not Recommend them

At least Amber can take them out should she so desire. I have this same type of cheeks naturally. They are so prominent and when I lose a few pounds I look really weird. Thinking to get some volume to my temples to soften the harsh look.

The template filler is a great idea but be very conservative ok

No, Amber's cheeks looks great, theyre small subtle and most people would never know. i have a friend with small ones in her 50s and she looks great! There are some beautiful cheek implants done on flat faces on Real Self, huge difference and great improvement. Much better than filler which gravitates over time and people look "pillowy". As long as theyre small, they can enhance. I think Amber looks great.
