If you look at a skull, what should be the nose is actually a cavity. The nose is not defined by bone like our features but instead by cartilage and soft tissue. It’s one of the main reasons why rhinoplasty is such a common, and relatively minimally invasive procedure, but that doesn’t mean getting the proportions right is easy.
A recessed jaw creates malocclusion, a condition where the upper and lower jaw don’t line up correctly and this leads to a whole host of problems from uncomfortable sleep apnea to painful TMJ.
