What are my options for a better jaw/ side profile?

Question

Are both my jaws recessed or is it only the lower jaw? And how can I attain the second picture where I just hold my tongue up, is such a result possible? Thanks!

You do appear to have some recession of your chin.  This can be augmented with fillers or an implant and this should help to balance your profile.

Dear Jeleif,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from chin augmentation. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

When you lift your tongue up the jaw moves slightly forward and down creating a total jawline augmentation effect with both modest horizontal and vertical dimensional changes. Only a custom jawline implant can replicate that type of lower facial change.
