Would release of the ligaments, during a Deep Plane Facelift, have any possible negative impact on my jaw/TMJ?

Asked By:Inquisitive1105 in New York, New York

I am in my late 40s and am considering a deep plane facelift. I have a history of hemifacial microsomia (not noticeable to most people unless told/shown), partial right condyle and likely flattened discs on both sides. I do not have tmj pain issues as long as I avoid excessively chewing gum, jaw breakers etc. Would release of the ligaments, during a deep plane face lift, have any possible negative impact on my jaw/tmj? Thanks in advance for your response.
