Will your face lose weight if all four wisdom teeth are removed?

Removing all four wisdom teeth does not result in a significantly thinner face, and the majority of people have no change in their facial shape. Wisdom teeth are also known as third molars and generally erupt between the ages of 16-35. Since the wisdom teeth are located in the back and the roots generally grow on the inner side of the jawbone, they do not affect the shape of the face and do not have the role of supporting the face, so most people’s faces will not lose weight after the removal of four wisdom teeth. The facial swelling after tooth extraction will bring the illusion of a slimmer face after the swelling goes down, but the size of the face itself does not change. In a few cases, the wisdom teeth are tilted to the cheek side and the flesh of the cheek will be slightly sunken after removal, but the change is also very small. Under normal circumstances, wisdom tooth removal has certain benefits to the human body, which can avoid pain caused by wisdom tooth decay and pericoronitis. In addition, wisdom tooth removal can also prevent the root of neighboring teeth from being resorbed and prevent the formation of odontogenic cysts from wisdom teeth. If you want to slim down your face, you can choose to have a face slimming injection or have part of your jawbone surgically removed, simply removing the wisdom teeth will not have a significant effect on your face. Patients can take a full jaw surface tomography, CT, etc. to clarify their facial condition in order to choose the appropriate improvement method.
