I been trying to search for a top surgeon that does Jaw Implants but most only do chin implants. I am very interested in Jaw Implant to improve my jaw. I was wondering if any doctors here do jaw implants and how much does this procedure cost? if you dont do jaw implant can u recommend me to another surgeon that does? Also for Jaw Implant does it require general anesthesia? Well I hope you can help. thanks
