Does a jaw implant slide the jaw forward?
Asked 2014-11-12
I have a weak jaw and chin. The look I want is when I stick my jaw out and it defines the jaw. I was wondering if a jaw implant and probably a chin implant will achieve that. Teeth are pretty much fine. (slight crossbite)

Yes, facial implants could be your answer however, a detailed examination with x-ray evaluation most likely would be required to make that determination. Consider a consult with a member of the ASAPS in your area that specializes in Facial implant surgery.
