How can I balance my facial proportions?

May 21, 2017
Asked By:BurntSugar in Fairfax, VA

Im concerned that I may have long face syndrome. I think that my midface is too long (upper lip measures 16mm with tooth show), lower half too heavy and chin appears to be recessive. I have minor lip strain/dimpling in the chin when I close my mouth, but I don't have much of a gummy smile. My bite is Class I and had braces to correct crowding. What can I do to make my face appear shorter, more balanced? Would cheek/chin implants and a lip lift help me or would it be best to consider jaw surgery?
