Jaw shaving surgery or filler? Want a more defined jawline and smaller nose. (Photo)

Question

Hi, I've had braces and have also had a lower jaw OP, my lower jaw was moved forward to correct my bite. I'm still not happy with my profile and wanted a more defined jaw. What would be the best op to have as I am not sure if a lower jaw OP will be any good?

Thank you for sharing the photos. Toy are likely to get an excellent outcome with enhancing your chin aline. This is a permanent solution that will also improve definition and reduce bulk under your chin. I would personally advice against fillers. Simple chin advancement in the form of genioplasty or alternatively an olay implant will give you a dramatic improvement.

To get a more defined jawline it isa matter of seeing the 'corners' better ( chin and jaw angles) as well as having a linear connection between the two. The best way to achieve this is with a female type custom jawline implant. Standard chin and jaw angle implants can also be used but they will not have a visible linear connection between them to show a well defined jawline.
