Maxillary augmentation - Is there any surgery that can lift the entire maxilla (nose, cheekbone, etc.)? (Photos)

Vivid556828May 22, 2025
When I was younger I had a slight underbite where my teeth would perfectly line on top of each other and my upper jaw did not have enough room for my canines to grow out.. For this reason I believe I have a recessed maxilla that makes my face and apples of my cheek, appear flat when I'm at rest. What type of treatment would be ideal? I've been considering cheek implants, filler, or last resort jaw surgery. Is there any surgery that can lift the entire maxilla (nose, cheekbone, etc.)?

It can be difficult to remove some cheek implants, particularly that brand. However, it can be done and I don't think there is much likelihood we'd leave you with the implants still there.
