Could a chin osteotomy change my square-shaped face into longer, oval shaped face? (Photo)

Asked By:amira90 in Austin, TX

I think the shape of my face is beautiful but it is rather short from a profile view. Is it possible to lengthen the jaw, not push it forward, but down and if so would this give me a more oval shaped face? Also how long is the recovery time for this surgery?
