my wisdom tooth and the molar beside it removed will it cause my jaw line to receed

Q. Hi, I have had my bottom left side wisdom tooth and the molar beside it removed. Will this cause my jaw line to receed or the shape of my face to change? Many thanks

A. Hi
it is possible that there might be a slight indentation in this area but by no means a certainty, if you lose any more teeth it will become more of an issue
