Asked By:Persistent156677 in Frankfurt am Main, Hessen, Germany

2016 - upper and lower jaw surgery and after surgery surgeon casually said “I also added a genioplasty”. Struggled with my new face mainly due to the lower third being out of proportion. I was told to just “keep my head up” when I expressed my conserns about the excess skin under my chin. Had under chin liposuction after that. Chin and jawline lipofilling to balance lower third with overall face (2018). I still have a triple chin when looking down. What are my options to looking better?
