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

Nora.y1771Feb 3, 2019
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?

You do appear to have a vertical facial growth pattern. The slope from the ear towards the chin is 'steep' evidencing this pattern. Ideal treatment can involve orthodontics and surgery; and masking surgery can be done without orthodontics. It will depend upon your goals and esthetic preferences.

Hello,    Thank you for your question. This all depends on your skeletal position in relation to your teeth. Sometimes jaw surgery is indicated but in some situation something much more simple like facial implants can be a solution. I hope that helps!  Dr G
