What can help me achieve a balanced profile? (Photo)

Question

I'm 5’1 F, slightly overweight but i don’t really think that affects my side profile because even when i was smaller it still looked like this, i was thinking a sliding genioplasty could really balance out my profile though i’m not sure if it can be achieved softly since my face is on the rounder side. I tested it with a few mock ups but what do y’all think?

Yes, a sliding genioplasty would improve your facial balance and provide improved definition. It will also make your face appear slimmer. The surgery is performed in the office with intravenous anesthesia and does not require braces or affect your bite. Most young patients can return to work in 3-5 days.

Timothy Osborn, MD · Answer

You are a good candidate for a genioplasty. Your chin is a bit short and recessed. Moving it forward and down would bring balance to your profile while elongating your jawline. It would create a more "v" shape facial structure. It would also tighten the skin under your chin to create more contour and definition. We offer in-person or virtual consultations if you would like to discuss options further!

William Portuese, MD · Answer

The side profile photograph demonstrates a recessive chin, so consider placement of a small chin implant which can be performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure.
