Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I am about to have my upper jaw advanced and lower moved back. My surgeon has suggested that once he moves my upper jaw forward, it might make my cheek bones " disappear " or at least make them look much smaller than before (didn't have much to start with). Therefore, he has suggested cheek implants. They are pretty expensive and obviously not covered by insurance, so I'm not sure whether I should do it or not. They're not bone--they're the same material that they use in artificial knees and hips. I'm also worried that they might move around if I get headbutted by my 3-year-old (his favorite activity). Any body have any info on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
