Masseter muscle reattachment after jaw implant?

January 9, 2017
Asked By:hgc1227 in Valley Village, CA

I had mandible implants done a couple years back and the masseter muscle on one side separated from the bone. There's no pain but now I have an asymmetrical lower jaw. There was a whitepaper done on this surgery a while back but I was wondering how common this is and how many doctors know of this surgery?
