What about the concave face? Is it cosmetic or dental surgery?
Generally speaking, maxillofacial deformities can be divided into two categories, one is caused by tooth deformities, which are generally not too serious. Through orthodontic treatment, the teeth can be arranged neatly to improve the face shape. The other is called skeletal malformation, which is caused by abnormal jaw development, which can be overgrowth or hypoplasia. Generally speaking, due to the compensation of the body, the teeth of patients with skeletal deformities will also produce certain tooth deformities, that is, compensatory occlusal disorder. This skeletal deformity can only be solved by orthognathic surgery.

2 Solutions to skeletal deformities: First, preoperative orthodontic treatment should be performed before orthognathic surgery to correct the compensatory occlusal disorder of human body. Then the operation is performed, and the operation is completed by moving the upper and lower jaws. After operation, further orthodontic treatment should be carried out to adjust the occlusion and finally achieve good results. Simply put: preoperative orthodontics-orthognathic surgery-postoperative orthodontics.

This operation is usually performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons and orthodontists. So I suggest you go to a professional stomatological hospital.

Your condition should be this kind of skeletal deformity, which may be overgrowth of mandible, hypoplasia of maxilla, or both. At the same time, your teeth must be disordered. The above treatment is required.

Orthognathic surgery is usually performed in adulthood because the bones of minors are still developing. If we operate now, the bones will still grow back and become the same, and all the efforts will be in vain. The effect after the operation should be quite obvious.

Finally, to correct it, this kind of operation is called plastic surgery, not plastic surgery.

Basically, it must be like this, but it is better to make a definite diagnosis and prepare for surgery after adulthood.
