What would you do to fix this jawline? (Photo)

Question

I'm female in my mid 20s. I know i need genioplasty and rhinoplasty. My features are very unbalanced. My jaw and chin are larger than i would like them to be. I also have tmj so my jaw looks very asymmetrical and pulls to one side. How would you fix this to make my profile look more balanced and feminine? Thank you.

You appear to be a candidate for jaw surgery. The asymmetry in your face is due to your lower jaw swinging out to your right side. Your chin is also short, which means your lower jaw did not grow far enough forward. Jaw surgery is a major procedure, but would fix the asymmetry in your chin and jaw, while balancing your profile. How is your bite? Do your teeth align? Have you had any orthodontics in the past? There are many things to consider about having jaw surgery. However, if you are strictly looking for cosmetic procedures, I would recommend a genioplasty with jawline contouring. A genioplasty would bring your chin forward and down, creating more balance in your profile, while elongating your jawline. Jawline contouring would reduce the bone on the right side, creating more facial symmetry. With that, you may think about cheek implants as well. You have lost some volume in your upper cheeks. Looking at your profile, your cheek bones appear very flat, causing that lost volume under your eyes as well. Cheek implants would create more contour and volume. They can be very subtle or larger if you prefer. Implants can be customized to fit your face. The implant on the left side would be slightly larger to balance our the asymmetry on the right side. Our office provides simulated outcomes which help to provide an idea of what you would look like after these procedures were done. We offer in-person or virtual consultations if you would like to discuss things further!
