Hi there, I am 45 y/o male. I am on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for over 2 years. Prior TRT I had a more slim, oval/heart shaped face. After TRT my head shape is more wide and oblong. I want to get more my former headshape back. Could a chin implant help me with a more oval/heart shape? And also more of a V-line. Picture left is 2016, on the right recently Thanx
