One of the operations to make the face slimmer that I have a lot of experience with is Buccal Fat Removal. This is an operation that, in a lot of cases, can reduce the volume of the cheeks and produce a natural, contouring effect.
I would recommend starting with buccal fat removal with jawline lipo. Buccal fat removal will reduce some of the fullness in your cheeks, and jawline lipo will add more contour and definition to your jawline. These procedures are commonly done together with just local anesthetic. All the incisions are made through the mouth so there is no external scarring. If you are looking for something further, you may consider slimming down your chin. It is on the wider side, and can be contoured down to be slimmer and create a more "v" shape. You may be a candidate for a genioplasty, but it is harder to tell without a side profile photo. Our office provides in-person or virtual consultations if you would like to discuss options further!
