I have a long face. My forehead isn't very big, but the lower part of my face is much longer. I do not have a very nice profile and on days that I am a bit bloated my face appears to be much larger and longer. Due to stress, I have lost a lot of cheek fat which may add to my long face. I also have a small mouth and lips. What would be recommended to balance my face? Would I be able to have a stronger, shorter chin with just fillers? Or would it need to be invasive?
