Asked By:Lunax33 in Ohio, OH

Hello, I was born with congenital torticollis. I had the sternocleidmastoid release surgery as a child but my parents had a difficult time getting me to do the proper exercises to stretch the muscle so it is now beginning to revert back and I am looking for a doctor to repeat the surgery. As a result of this condition I have some asymmetry in my jaw and smile. My jaw is larger on one side and slants to the other. Will double jaw surgery even out both sides of my face below my eyes? Thank you
