Can The Jaw Be Lengthened But Not Made Any Wider?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Is it possible to add a very modest jaw and chin lengthening implant in women without giving any horizontal attention widening effect?

A: Yes but no. While an implant can be designed to provide vertical lengthening only it has to have some flanges to engage the sides for stability so some slight width increase may occur.
