Can I Get Custom Facial Implants After Double Jaw Surgery?

Q:Dr. Eppley, I had double jaw surgery for sleep apnea recently and my cheeks are now out of harmony with the rest of my face and my jaw is fairly narrow with a fairly short ramus so it looks a bit strange and I think it would make me a very good candidate.

A: it is fairly common to see patients for custom jawline and infraorbital-malar implants after Bimax surgery, particularly for OSA. The large maxillary movement leaves the upper midface behind and the large sagittal lower jaw movement can make the lower facial third look too narrow.
