Severe damage to the jaw is usually caused by a blunt impact to the face.

★★★★★ Dr. Linkov performed submental liposuction on me and I couldn’t be happier with the results! He has amazing bedside manner: he took the time to listen to my concerns and explain them thoroughly; he made sure that I left with no questions. In addition, Dr. Linkov told me that I should expect a subtle change as opposed to something drastic. I love how honest he is about the procedure, unlike some other doctors who advertise drastic change and not delivering them. Even tho Dr. linkov said that the results would be subtle, I am so happy to with the results which really have tightened up the jawline and gave me more definition. I can’t thank Dr. linkov enough!
