Is it possible to lower my gonial angle to 130 degrees or less with jaw implants? (photos)

November 22, 2022
Asked By:RocketPropeller in Sofia, Sofia City Province, Bulgaria

Hello! I'm a 20 year old male. My gonial angle on both sides is 138-140 degrees. I measured that using a panoramic xray I got for wisdom tooth extractions. Is it possible to lower the angle to 130 degrees or less? My jaw is also narrow and I'd like it to be slightly widened. I am also considering a genioplasty, but I may end up with bimax since my mandible is very undeprojected.

Why do jaw and chin implants get such a bad rep?
Alejo Villarreal, DDS says:

#1- Unfortunately, generic or standard implants can present many issues, and the "bad rep" is somewhat fair. #2- Rhinoplasty should not affect the appearance of your nasolabial folds, or at least not in a meaningful way. #3 Midface implants can be designed in such a way that they can improve or...
