Vertical chin length & weird face shape. Can this be fixed? (Photo)

user16394637Mar 7, 2022
I’m considering a rhinoplasty & then genioplasty for horizontal recession & have been told to add length by one surgeon & not to by another. Rn my mid facial third is the biggest & my top and lower third are equal. My mouth is too low on my face so my chin appears extra small. I’m not sure if adding length would be good or make my bottom half too long. Also, I’m only 120lbs& 5’5 but my face is very wide in a spot ppl’s normally isn’t since birth.Can it be fixed or something changed to balance it?

You could get these results with a genioplasty. The chin segment would be moved down and angled to give you more of the "v' shape. Some contouring may be done on the jawline as well to get a that slimmer appearance. Although there is a limit to how much it can be reduced, jaw surgery is...
