I want to have orthodontic surgery to move my maxilla forward. What is this procedure called and can it bring out my cheekbones?

Asked By:Dianna S. in Bakersfield, CA

i mostly want to give fullness to the middle of my face because i feel my jaw protrudes more than my maxilla and i want to bring a balance to my face. Can bringing forward the maxilla do this to give me a fuller face and bring out my cheekbones? I do not want cheek implants at all in face but a permanent change.
