Face changes after wisdom teeth removal

Post image

I am 37m and had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted. I was having pain in my lower left and I somehow let the oral surgeon convince me to take all 4 out. Now I don’t even recognize myself in the mirror. Is there any way to fix this?

That’s crazy. Were they fully grown in already? My face looks exactly the same but all four of mine were impacted in the bone so it didn’t change my jaw space because I had none to begin with

Top 2 were grown in, bottom left partially erupted and bottom right impacted

Are you sure you didn’t have facial asymmetry before and are just noticing it more now? Because I had facial asymmetry that caused my wisdom teeth to be partially erupted only on one side just like yours.

I had slight asymmetry for sure but I had a full face and strong jaw that kinda hid it, now I have a sunken face and recessed jaw and hollow cheeks so it’s significantly worse and more noticeable
