I have a recessed face, can it be corrected? (photos)

Hello, thank you for your question. An in-person examination is needed, I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

From the photos that you have provided, you would make an ideal candidate for a chin implant. This would further project the lower face and provide structure to your jaw. This can be completed with a silicone implant or with facial fat transfer. Not all of the fat from the fat transfer will survive, and the results will take some time before finalizing, whereas the silicone implant is more precise in its shape and placement. Going forward, I would recommend you to complete multiple in office consultations with board certified plastic surgeons to discuss your aesthetic goals. This way, they can better assess your chin and jaw and discuss the ideal treatment plan for you.

Best of luck!

The degree of recession is excessive and I would recommend an advancement genioplasty. There is no further expected growth of your face after the age of 15. Surgery will provide you with an overall balanced face.
