Can A Custom Jawline Implant Completely Reverse The Effects Of Prior V Line Surgery?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I previously had double jaw surgery and V-line surgery that I regretted. After that, I underwent reversal double jaw surgery and received a custom jawline implant to restore my appearance, based on my before-and-after surgery CT scans. These procedures improved my appearance and reversed the changes to a certain extent, but my face still isn’t exactly the same as it was before. Does this mean that even with CT scans and a custom jawline implant, my appearance can never be fully restored to how it used to be?

A: There is a lot of information about your case I do not know but as a general statement,it is fair to say you can never go completely back home. It doesn’t matter how close you get the bone to it’s original state there are irreversible changes to the soft tissues  from the surgeries that can never be completely overcome.,
