How to fix witch’s chin and flat side profile? (Photo)

Question

Hi! I’m 18 and have always been insecure about my flat side profile and a witch’s chin never helped. My nose seems to be a saddle nose causing my nostrils to widen when I smile. I’ve had braces in the past and my bite is alighted but my chin gets pointy when I smile. How can I fix this?

You are an ideal candidate to a three dimensional reduction 
genioplasty (no braces and teeth wiring required, not orthognatic) to 
feminize your chin, deproject, slightly set back and make it less square
 and round.
If you wish better grounded opinion well lit, focused and standard 
images have to be assessed: frontal, both lateral and both oblique 
views, also underneath the nostrils.
Feel free to request any additional information from me.

Without an exam your question cannot be answered.  You will need to see an Oral/Maxillofacial surgeon to see if othognathic surgery, genioplasty or using an implant is best for your specific case. It should be noted that patients with severely weak jaws or abnormally functioning jaws may be better treated with other facial surgery (orthognathic surgery), although a chin augmentation may be an option at a later time. These patients should seek the advice of a plastic surgeon to determine which course is right for them. Here is some information to help you make this decision: Candidates for Chin Augmentation - Patients whose chin profiles are weak but have normally functioning jaws are candidates for Chin Augmentation. Many of these candidates have used injectable fillers in the past to strengthen the protrusion of their chins, but are looking for a permanent solution. If you are one of these patients, then you are a likely candidate for chin augmentation

You have a few options to improve your chin and jawline. If you’re not sure you’re ready for surgery, but still want to improve and strengthen your chin and jawline, I’d suggest augmenting your chin and jaw with Sculptra and/or Voluma. If you like your new look, you can make it permanent with a chin implant. I hope that helps.
