Non Surgical Way to Bring Jaw Forward? (photo) I am 31 years old, I have a deep overbite and one side of my jaw has class 2 occlusion which makes my jaw look more rerouted on one side than the other.....can some orthodontic appliance help correct this problem and maybe bring my jaw forward a little....I really don't wish to break my jaw and face the side effects of jaw surgeries

A: Non surgical way to bring jaw forward

With a deep overbite and significant asymmetries of the jaw line, it is probably best to undergo a mandibular osteotomy and set the jaw forward. Oral maxillofacial surgeons typically perform this procedure. A second way to bring the jaw forward from a cosmetic standpoint would be to simply insert a chin implant onto the front portion of the mandible. There is no way to bring the jaw forward without performing surgery.

Do Face Exercises to Develop and Create Higher Cheekbones Really Work? There are several programs like Carole Maggio "Facercise" do they really work? Specially the ones to develop and create higher cheekbones?

A: Muscle enlargement through exercise is for the gym

Thanks for the interesting question. There will always be someone who thinks they can improve their face by avoiding surgery. And I salute them and the innovative things they are willing to do. Ten years ago it was the electrical face stimulator. Two tiny electrical probes passed a small current through your muscles and supposedly the exercise it produced made the muscles larger. if that had worked we would all have one in our bathroom. Watching a video of how to make your muscles bigger is pretty much the same thing.

So this is why you should save your money. You have 31 muscles in your face most working in harmony with the others. They can go in different directions and work both in harmony or against each other depending on your emotion. How can you make some of them bigger and others not? Pretty much impossible unless you are Jim Carey.

What causes wrinkles in the first place? When our skin thins out with age and sun damage the muscles don't. So a wrinkle is just the pleating of your skin that is connected to the muscle. Muscles aren't smooth. Look at any flank steak and you see they are bands of tissue lying in parallel. Tightening them will only make the wrinkles worse since the chords of muscle will get bigger.

A facelift won't give you higher cheekbones so why would bulking up you muscles be better than surgery? If it sounds too good to be true then it probably isn't. Try putting your money in the cookie jar and smile each time you do that. Save your change for something that really works.
