Hi, I have missing back bottom teeth and now my face is starting to wrinkle and sag on that side. I have a recessed lower jaw and small chin and to make matters worse i got masseter botox 8 months ago and again accidently during a nefertiti lift 3 weeks ago. The masseter tox made my face very narrow and jowly and its feels like my jaw is even further back now. My face is sagging now so I want a facelift. Should i replace bone and get implants or facelift first?
