Is it possible for a V-shaped jaw to change into a square jaw in early 20s?

September 20, 2020
Asked By:ra353 in London, GB

I am female aged 22, almost 23. At 18/19/20 I had a V-shaped jaw and slim face. Now my jaw looks square and my face is wider at the bottom. I can't work out what has happened - surely it's not possible for the bone structure to change that much over such a short period of time? The squareness is there regardless of my current weight. However, my weight fluctuated dramatically at ages 20/21 - could that have caused lasting changes? My nose also seems to have become longer and wider in that time.

How can the bigonial width increase?
Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD says:

The back of the lower jaw is not going to be affected by any procedure done on the front at the chin. A sliding genioplasty will only increase the projection of the chin. It requires jaw angle implants to increase the bigonial width which can be done at the same time as the sliding genioplasty.

Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS says:

The cause of your deep mentolabial fold is the diminished height of your chin. Fillers are not going to improve this fold. The treatment for a short chin is a vertical lengthening genioplasty. This surgery will diminish your mentolabial fold and provide excellent facial balance to the lower...

I’m unhappy with my genioplasty results. What should I do? My surgeon refuses to revise it (Photo)
Gerald Wittenberg, MSc, DMD (retired) says:

The images are not ideal; but if the swelling has improved at least 50% from surgery, it does appear that the chin does not 'blend' well into the more narrow jawline behind the chin - and therefore this emphasizes the 'fuller chin'. Firstly,ensure the swelling is resolved and bone surgery does...
