Considering fillers, or is surgery my best route (face too long & narrow)? (Photos)

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello, and thank you for your question. You might want to consider filler treatments to address your concerns. Jaw contouring using dermal fillers is a non-surgical procedure that enhances the lower face by injecting dermal filler into target areas to restore lost volume in the lower face, contour the jawline to create a sharper profile, and balance an asymmetrical jawline.

I highly recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon to determine whether this treatment approach might meet your goals. These experts are armed with a better knowledge of facial anatomy, as well as the most advanced injectable techniques that can achieve the most natural-looking results. During your consultation, your surgeon can assess your facial profile, recommend the best approach, and ensure the best possible outcome.

You can consider filler to help contour the jawline. The benefit is that you can go slowly until you achieve the desired outcome. See an expert injector near you to learn more.

The one image suggests a high angle growth pattern with narrow lower jaw dimensions. Understandably surgery to provide a long term augmentation and change the high angle long face is not ideal but filler amounts would be significant and repeatable every year but feasible if cost is ok
