What's the best treatment for flat face / possible recessed maxilla? (photo)

bella.alleb200
When I was younger I had a slight underbite where my teeth would perfectly line on top of each other and my upper jaw did not have enough room for my canines to grow out. I got braces and expanders but now my top 4 teeth slant slightly outward. For this reason I believe I have a recessed maxilla that makes my face and apples of my cheek, appear flat when I'm at rest. What type of treatment would be ideal? I've been considering cheek implants, filler, or last resort jaw surgery.
