Options to fix recessed lower face and jowls? (Photos)

ppolisky
I'm a 30-year-old Southeast Asian male. I got a chin implant back in 2019 to address a weak chin and some imbalance in my facial profile. While it helped at first, I noticed the results haven’t held up over time. I still have visible jowls, and my lower face remains quite recessed compared to the rest of my features. Recently, my orthodontist did a 3D scan and mentioned that the implant I have is the smallest he’s ever seen in his career - which makes me wonder if it was ever really adequate for my facial structure in the first place. I’m now exploring whether jaw surgery is my only option, or if there are other procedures that could improve the balance and projection of my lower face, like a bigger chin implant. Are there any treatments that might realistically help in my case? Or is jaw surgery the only long-term solution for skeletal issues like this?
