How to fix long, thin face - chin shave, jaw surgery, other treatment? (Photos)

You did not say how your chin reductions as done but, by your symptom description, it probably was done from an intraoral approach.

Jw angle reduction and a chin implant can be done during the same surgery. But to get the exact type of full thickness posterior and inferior border jaw angle reduction you have diagrammed that can not be done from an intraoral approach. This requires a retromandibular eincision to create the...

Before one gets into how to do the chin augmentation the first question is what dimensions of the chin need to be changed to look better to you. By your own description you have described a vertically shorter but more projected chin. This type of chin dimensional change can only be achieved by a...
