NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone I have seen who has gotten cheek implants ruined their face.
Look at CINDY FREAKIN" CRAWFORD
She looks like Janice Dickenson now. NO NO NO NO.
Just my opinion of course.
whispers........no!
Fully agreed here!! Cheekimplants make most MTF's look hideous but born women too! Sometimes I see women having had cheekimplants and instantly recognise it because it makes their faces look harsh and facial features thrown off balance.
I often wonder were this 'cheekimplant' fashion' comes from? A remainder of the 70's when lots of MTF had liquid silicone injected in their faces altogether with too short and small made nosejob?
It made them look like very strange rabbits.
The internet is such a wonderful resource and Susan's is an even better resource! You just have TO RESEARCH AND READ CAREFULLY. In order to prevent costly mistakes being made on your face....
This is what I wrote, just a few threads under yours:

Cheekimplants are solid. Or are you talking about silicone injections?
Medpor implants 'attach' themselves to the natural cheekbones within a few months. Uneven? Other probs? Impossible to remove or to revise.
Silicone implants are screwed to the bone. Can cause bone erosion over time.
Both types of implants can create undereyehollows because the implants don't reach up to the undereyelids.
Both types of implants can make your temples look narrower and your eyes closer set.
Both types of implants can cause a strange looking, 'wooden' face, barely able to move when talking, laughing, smiling etc. Can look very nice in pictures but very strange when animated. Very negative attention grabbing in public.
Both types of implants can make a GG's or a TS's face look very, very harsh.
Both types of implants can make a face look 'off'.
Both types of implants can throw a face off balance.
When placed early in transition: hormones cause facial fat to redistribute to the cheekbones. When this happens over both types of implants you'll wind up with an overstuffed, strange looking, matronly 'pillowface'.
I've only once seen a soft, nice looking cheekbone augmentation: this TS had her adamsapple shaved and the surgeon used the shaved cartilage for cheekbone augmentation.
Probably because the surgeon used small pieces of cartilage instead of 'solid shells'/implants.
P.s: I've seen one MTF who was indeed very unhappy with her very expensive solid silicone implants . She had them removed, costly again.
She's still unhappy because the removed cheekimplants left her with loose, sagging facial skin where the implants used to sit.
Very, very aging and very, very difficult AND expensive to 'revise'.
She was 'lucky' she had silicone implants screwed to her cheekbones; it's possible to remove them. Medpor implants are impossible to remove because the bone 'grows' into medpor implants.
Oh, and I forgot to mention something important for cheekimplants considering the future: with aging facial skin thins....to such a degree that the ridges of implants are going to show, plus, of course, the implants themselves.
Yes, I've seen that too and it looks very alien on an aging MTF or born woman alike.
