Do jaw implants or facelift procedures affect the action of facial muscles?

Asked By:Dr. R Coutts in Toronto, ON

I'm interested in augmenting my jaw and possibly getting a facelift if the future. I play the flute and I'm concerned that these procedures may cause problems with the muscles needed for playing.
