What Happens To My Custom Jawline Implant As I Age?

Q: Dr. Eppley, What will happen when I grow older and my mandible shrinks but the implant will stay the same size. Wouldn’t that be an issue to have custom implant for my whole jawline? Sorry I am ignorant about this. Thanks

A: Your mandible does not shrink with age…unless you lose most or all of your lower teeth.
