Would I need a cheek implant or jaw surgery? (Photo)

Plucky451829Jun 5, 2023
Hi! So I can tell one side of my face is like kinda sunken in, but I can also tell that the jaw is narrower on the left and the right is full and I have more of a jaw. I basically don’t have one on the left? What would I need or correct this issue!! I also need a wider palate I think for the left side, just narrow. My teeth are smaller on that side than the right.
