I had a jaw surgery in 2010 for my underbite. My upper jaw was moved fwd. I also have a missing tooth on left upper jaw (it's a bridge). The gum has collapsed a bit. Both of my cheeks are kind of saggy (more on left). I am afraid of having implant treatment for my missing teeth because of my jaw surgery.
