Chin implant removal and jaw bone surgery at the same time, is it possible? (Photo)

November 21, 2015
Asked By:changmin007 in San Diego, CA

I had a chin implant before and it made no difference and I still have a recessed chin. I'm getting depressed with what I've done 'till today. I noticed that when my mouth is relaxed, my lower jaw is open and my mouth as well (like a fish; mouth gaping). I went to consult a doctor and said I have overbite, a candidate for Jaw Bone Surgery and it will fix all the issues mentioned earlier. Is it okay to have my chin implant removed and at the same time do the jaw bone surgery?
