Can a Long Face Be Fixed with Plastic Surgery? My face is very long, I have both a large forehead and a larger chin. I would not be interested in fillers to make it wider because I feel it would just be huge then. I want to know if a chin reduction or forehead reduction would be beneficial, if yes, which will be more so? Thank for any advice! I'm also aware of the ptosis of my left eye, which I plan to fix as well.

A: facial proportions

you are not as long in the face as you may believe. consider a tricophytic brow lift - this lowers the hairline, which will have a tremendous beneficial effect on your facial proportions. i think once your forehead is more proportionate your head will appear "normal" size due to restored proportions of upper/middle/lower face

Weak Chin - Jaw Surgery Vs. Chin Implant? Hi, I have suffered from TMJ pain for about 4 years. I have tried various methods (night guard, soft foods, massage, etc) with no success. I have made an appointment with a mouth doctor. I have a weak/small chin, but not a terrible underbite (jaw wise). I have been considering a Chin implant ever since I discovered it's possible. For TMJ, I understand open jaw surgery is last resort but also that it restructures the jaw and might give me a better chin? Is it wrong to think of open jaw surgery as killing 2 birds with one stone?

A: Chin Implant

If your bite is not contributing to the TMJ pain. Then it is a chin implant and then deal with the TMJ. TMJ surgery will not affect the chin, surgery on the mandible may improve the profile some.

Botox for Chin Dimpling? I have several deep dimples in my chin, and I've heard Botox could get rid of them. What do you think?

A: Botox for chin wrinkles

Botox is great for this, but the effects will only last about 3 months. Dysport is another botulinum toxin that may actually last longer than Botox and some offices probably offer Dysport at a cheaper price than Botox. Good luck!
