I want a stronger and more harmonious side profile, what are my options?

August 18, 2021
Asked By:Leifjee in New York, New York

It feels like my midface is way heavier than my lower face which feels very recessed. I'm not sure how bad it is. I'm planning to get braces just to straighten my teeth as they're crooked, but my bite is okay with a very slight overbite. What would give me the best results? A genioplasty? Chin wing? Jaw surgery?

I'm insecure about how my resting face looks, I tend to force my face forward all the time. Is there a way to fix this?
Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD says:

As you just your jaw forward you are compensating for a very short lower chin/jaw development. The best way to ge over this compensatory habit is with a sliding genioplasty which can bring your chin forward at least 12 to 14mm to bring it more into alignment with your lower lip projection.
