I don’t like my profile, one side of my jaw is slightly longer than the other and my chin joins my neck. What can I do? (Photo)

Question

I have a brace currently hoping to widen my teeth and help, do I need jaw surgery though? Can I have lipo on my neck? Or a chin implant?

Aesthetically speaking, your jawline profile can improve without any major surgeries. You can consider Kybella, which is FDA approved for fat reduction of the under chin area. Also, a relatively small chin implant can also be beneficial to help you extend the jawline forward, in addition to contouring the jawline. If you are interested in non-invasive options, you should seek in-person consultation with a board-certified Facial Plastics surgeon who has thorough experience with procedures of the lower face. Best, Dr. Anil Shah

What you have is a Class II skeletal deformity.  That means that the lower jaw is further back in compared to the upper jaw.  The best way to give you the result that you are looking for is bringing your lower jaw forward.  This would address your extruded chin concern, give a better neck/ chin line as well as correct your bite.  X-rays would help further to determine this if you have any.

Your jaw is small and should be corrected by jaw surgery. Orthodontic treatment to align the teeth for surgery is needed
