What's the best option for better Jaw definition: Jaw or chin implant, sliding genioplasty, facelift/Venlay dentistry? (Photos)

Asked By:chiquitica in Dallas, TX

I'm self conscious about my profile that I've gotten in the habit of putting the tip of my tongue btw my front teeth to give the illusion of height & contracting my tongue to lift the underside of my jaw for more definition. Talking cm here. I've read about so many permanent options & don't know what's best for me. Facelift dentistry/Venlay by Dr. Sam Muslin sounds promising, non-invasive w/ bigger teeth/better smile, but my dentist advised against it bc I have straight health teeth. Advice?
