Perlane is an excellent way of getting help for this issue.

Sure, you could have surgery for this. However, Perlane filler is essentially instant, lasts a couple of years, requires no down time, and if your any reason you do not like the effect, it can be reversed with a simple injectable enzyme. Hard to go wrong with that.

Sculptra Versus Jaw Implants to Widen a Narrow Female Face

Hi Sarabush, I prefer the use of injectable Sculptra around the jawline to give a natural widening. Jaw implants will widen the area as well, but I personally find these permanent implants to be unnatural as one ages. Not all surgeons perform the operation. Good luck and be well. Dr. P

Jaw implants

Yes. Implants can be placed at the angle, body and chin to change your jawline contour. It's difficult to say what would be best for you from just this one photo. You need to have a consultation and get some more information.
