  7. IS MY UNDERBITE THE CAUSE...

Is my underbite the cause of my hollow under eyes? (Photos)

February 3, 2019
Asked By:Nora.y1771 in England, United Kingdom

I have a pretty bad underbite and asymmetry which im getting corrected very soon, but I also have hollow under eyes when I'm only 19! From what I've researched i understand that the hollowness can be causes by lack of soft tissue or because of bone structure. So can the double jaw surgery procedure improve or fix this problem?
