very prominent jaw

Postby acs123 » Sun Jan 06, 2013 9:33 am

Hi Dr. Lam,

I was wondering what you would suggest for the following problem -- my jaw (not sure if it is a problem with the muscle or the bone) protrudes from my face on both sides making it seemingly disproportionate to my chin and the rest of my face.

Thank you!

it is hard for me to tell without feeling your face. if it is very hard when you bite down then that is muscle. if it is only really hard when you don't, then it is bone. if it is muscle then botox will work like a charm. if not, you can have your bone shaved down but i don't do that procedure.
