Can I Get My Entire Face Widened By 1 Cm Per Side?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I’m a 22 year old female with  a narrow face that not proportional with face length typically 12.5 cm face width i want a wider face about 14.5 cm width is it possible to widen each side of my face by 10mm through combination of zygomatic arch and jaw implant temple implant if needed i want to now about the possibility before coming to US.

A: The question is not whether such amounts of facial widening can be done at the temporal, arch and jawline area but whether that amount (10mms) is what is actually needed. Patients typically  over estimate their dimensional needs numerically. I would need to see a front view picture for imaging to look at what type of changes are actually needed.
