I just found a medical paper that studies the effects of wisdom teeth extraction on facial profile. I skimmed through it and fed it to chatGPT, this is what the paper concluded:


Hard tissue (bone): After extracting the wisdom tooth on one side, the alveolar bone volume in that region decreased significantly—by about 2.33 +- 0.46 ml

Soft tissue (facial volume): Initially (at 3 months), there was a small but statistically significant decrease in soft tissue volume on the extraction side (~1.4 ml); however, by 6 months, the soft tissue returned to baseline with no meaningful volume change compared to pre-extraction

Correlation: There was no significant correlation between the amount of bone lost and changes in soft tissue volume

Measurement reliability: The 3D "projection method" used to measure soft tissue volume showed excellent repeatability, with intra- and inter-rater reliability (ICC - 0.96-0.97)



So, what the fuck it actually means?
Removing a wisdom tooth does cause measurable bone loss in the extraction area, but it does not lead to lasting slimming or volume loss in the facial soft tissue. In other words: your face won't look thinner.
