I am a 17 year old male and will be 18 in 3 months. I would like to have a chin implant and lateral jaw Implants to fix my profile. My father believes there is nothing wrong with my facial profile and adds that I will still grow, which I dont believe, my mother agrees and feels that if it affects my confidence then I should go for it.
