How can I make my face wider and shorter? (Photo)

Question

I have a very high mandibular angle and very weak chin and long. Will I need surgery to correct this or could implants work?

Ali Riza Öreroglu, MD · Answer

Based on what appears on your photos, mandibular angle implants or fillers in those areas can help increase the width of your face, thus making your face seem less long. It would be best to discuss your options after consulting a board certified facial aesthetics specialist plastic surgeon in person and being examined physically.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

You need a combination of a sliding genioplasty that brings your chin forward and vertically shortens it combined with vertical lengthening jaw angle implants that also add width. This is the only combination of lower jaw reshaping procedures that can shorten your lower face as well as widen it.
