Will I lose my cheek dimples by jaw reduction? (Photo)

I am looking forward to getting a couple of surgeries that include. Rhinoplasty, under eye fat transfer, a little bit perhaps fat transfer on my lips to expunge asymmetric look. But predominantly jawbone shave and chin. That is because I don't like how angular it is and looks squarish. Where my chin protrudes when I smile.
