Based on your photo, you appear to be a good candidate for Chin Implant Surgery.

Chin and Jaw Augmentation

Hi, From the photos you posted, it looks like you have a weak or retruded chin, so a chin implant will help in this case. Its difficult to evaluate your jawline but jaw augmentation would widen your jawline. Best, Dr.S.

Judging from the pictures a chin implant surgery would work fine for you. A personal consultation would help to clarify if this is the best way to go. It's a relatively simple operation with a quick recovery and not very expensive.
