Based on your photo, you appear to be a good candidate for Chin Implant Surgery.
I read your concern and reviewed your photos. A well-performed chin implant surgery may provide a stronger appearance of your chin and jawline. Surgery is well under an hour, and downtime is less than one week in most cases.
I hope this is helpful for you.

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,

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.
