A member asked:
Would having all 8 rear molars extracted over the past few years cause my cheeks to appear sunken in?

It May: The molars, if removed with some jaw surgery involved, may affect the facial symmetry, especially if thin in appearance to begin with. Follow-up with the surgeon for definitive answer and eval.

No: presence or absence of molars has no affect on your cheeks.
