I have lines on face. I am not sure if its nasolabial folds but I think it makes me look older than I am. Is there something I can do that doesnt involve filler to make my face look more alive and youthful?
My orthodontist says I am elgible for jaw surgery because I am a class 3 malocclusion (small maxilla) and I have mild sleep apnea. My functional symptoms are very mild so I am looking into jaw surgery for aesthetics. My main concern is the fat under my neck and my small chin. Will jaw surgery fix those or would I be better off with a genioplasty. I am worried advancemnt of my maxilla or mandible will leave me looking like a chimp because of my flat midface. Is my hyoid bone too low?
Hello! I have heard conflicting things about if osseous genioplasties can result in airway improvements. I know genioglossus advancements (with the bone square thing) can but they don't appear to have cosmetic benefits like genioplasties or jaw surgery, which is also a consideration for me. Thank for taking the time to answer.
Recently read stuff about how important jaw line is important for attraction and stuff like that. I also believed I had issues because of the recessed jaw (sleep apnea, etc) Unfortunately after speaking with surgeons I have no real medical need for the surgery, and it wouldnt be covered. Would a genioplasty suffice, or would I have to look into going the full jaw surgery route. Ive also heard it helps with your nose, cheeks too. Would I see benefit with those areas as well?
My first surgery resulted in my midline being off. The second surgery fixed the midline but my maxilla was lifted too high resulting in no teeth show. Third surgery was supposed to bring down the maxilla but it wasn't brought down enough, so that I still have a strained smile that shows very little teeth. I am so distressed. All I wanted was a nice, straight smile, now I don't have a smile at all! Is a 4th surgery advisable and will it fix this? Anything else I can do.?
Hi, Im looking to have Bariatric surgery for my weight and pain related to it. But I also eventually want to have orthognathic surgery to fix my bite. Both impact my life negatively. Unfortunately, Id have to do Bariatric first, as Im saving up for jaw surgery since my insurance doesnt cover it. Is weight loss surgery a contraindication for orthognathic surgery due to the potential for calcium deficiency? Even if a person remains militant about vitamin intake? Both would change my life
Hello there, Can someone please tell me why is my mouth protruded? Is it my weak chin or is it the fact that my teeth project outwards too much? What can I do procedure wise in order to make it less protruded or at least in appearance. Thanks,
How can I improve my side profile? I m not that insecure of my smile or have any bite issues but I have mouth breathing issues especially at night and wake up really tired. And I also dont like my side profile it looks really flat. idk if its the jaw or the flat nose.
