Most likely a skilled anaesthesia provider can find a way to intubate you safely even with this TMJ issue so you can have successful breast surgery

You must inform the anesthesia care provider about these issues and they will make the appropriate adjustments to your anesthesia plan to ensure they minimize the risk to your TMJ joint.
