Can jaw implants be part of a jaw retraction surgery?

Question

Can jaw implants be part of a jaw retraction surgery so that the net effect is something like moving the mouth backward while maintaining the same jaw line, or is this two surgeries or simply not possible without substantial change to the appearance of the jaw?

Hi,
Custom Jaw implants are frequently used during orthognathic surgery for various aesthetic purposes. What you describe is possible, but a thorough examination of your needs must be conducted to deliver a more in-depth recommendation. 
Often, corrective surgery offers the perfect opportunity to add support, balance, and attractiveness to the face with custom jaw implants. 
Best regards,
