Always have had a hard time breathing through my nose resulting in me being a chronic mouth breather which I believe has contributed to how my face looks as an adult. I want surgery to give myself a more 'defined' face and fix the asymmetry problems that I face.
Answer: Fixing a long, narrow face For patients with long faces, a few quick fixes can be an anatomical chin implant widen the appearance of the jaw and give more anterior projection. Additionally dermal fillers such as Vollure, Voluma or Radiesse on your cheeks and jawline can help add definition and shape.

Answer: Long face syndrome treatment A variety of options is available to treat both functional (breathing, bite) and aesthetic problems related to a long face. Orthoghnatic surgery with lower and upper jaw manipulation, septo-rhinoplasty, sliding genioplasty, are procedures that will address both problems if executed properly. However, camouflaging procedures with chin and cheek augmentation with implants, possibly jaw augmentation as well as nose surgery are procedures that will address mostly aesthetic aspect of your problem. A consultation with at least 2 surgeons (plastic and maxillofacial) should be your next consideration. Good luck.

Answer: Facial evaluation Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty and dorsal hump reduction. A chin implant can be performed at the same time for improved jaw line contour. I always use a medpor implant with screw fixation, which stays in place over time. A silicone chin implant has a high rate of malrotation over time. The overall result can make your face appear less long. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
