Is it possible to combine chin surgery and wisdom teeth removal?

C
C2322Jul 4, 2022

My big chin has always been an insecurity of mine and I thought that if I have to get surgery anyway, why not just add it on? Would doing this save me money? And is it wise to combine both, if its a simple procedure like burring the chin bone? I only want a little shaved off to reduce projection

With the orientation of your lower jaw on a steep angle, jaw surgery is the best way to correct that. It is more of a recovery, so if the ortho is able to fix the bite sufficiently, doing a genioplasty and mandibular angle implants would correct the jawline. If you have a gummy smile at all, or...

Depending on the location, it can be done under local. It also depends on how long the hardware has been there. Bone tends to grow over them when healing, and that will involve some drilling/shaving of the bone to remove them. If you are looking for a total removal of the hardware, it may be...

Most of the swelling comes on fast (peaks at day 3) and then reduces to 80% by 2 weeks, another 10% in another 2 weeks (90% at week 4), and the last 10% over a couple of months. Most people don't notice that last 10%, so you would notice most of your outcome within a month. I would also...

It is very common to notice an asymmetry more in a photo than in person. Your asymmetry is from both of your jaws, Your upper jaw is about 1.5mm to the right, rotated in the back (a yaw) and the left angle of your lower jaw is rotated out. All told that makes your chin point off to the right...
