Am I candidate for chin reduction or cheek filler? I have a very oblong face shape (photos)

Asked By:amandakar in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

I have always been very self conscious about the shape of my chin. I have a very oblong face shape. Not sure if cheek filler or reduction of chin would be best to create a more attractive face shape?
