Question

I would like a profile look like famous soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo or David Beckham. Any suggestions? & thank you

Based on your photos it appears that small augmentation with implant would improve your profile. In person evaluation is needed to decide about style and size of implant. Good luck.

You have a few options to improve the projection and symmetry of your chin and profile. If you’re not sure you’re ready for surgery, but still want to improve and strengthen your chin, I’d suggest augmenting your chin with Sculptra and/or Voluma. If you like your new look, you can make it permanent with a chin implant. I hope that helps.

More dramatic changes happen when the entire jawline is augmented and not just the chin area. You also need vertical jawline augmentation which also indicates that a total jawline implant is needed.

The photographs from the side profile demonstrated a weak  and recessive chain profile for which a chin implant can improve. Chin implants are manufactured in a large array of sizes, thicknesses, and shapes, which is best determined at the in-person examination. For diagrams of the implants and many before-and-after examples, please see the link and the video below

Dear Alejo, I would suggest a chin augmentation with submental/cervical liposuction and buccal fat pad removal. This will provide a more sculpted appearance and a very balanced profile. See the link below and video for examples. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures using dermal fillers, silastic facial implants (cheek, chin), liposuction and/or facelifts for over 30 years.  Following my beauty principles, men look chiseled and handsome with angularity in the cheeks, chin and mandibular angles.  From the photos, your cheeks are flat in the front, the chin is weak (these profile photos look like you are jutting your chin out forward) as are the mandibular angles and there is excess facial fat in front and below the cheeks.  The following procedures would create a more ruggedly handsome face.
Cheek augmentation with cheek implants to add angularity to the cheeks and mid face.  Liposuction can be combined to reduce any excess fat to further shape the cheeks and face.
Chin augmentation, using a chin implant, to add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face.  I have performed many facial shaping procedures, including Chin Augmentation with dermal fillers or silastic chin implants, for over 30 years.  When the chin is weak, this creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy, the lower face looks short, de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a "double chin".  Proper placement of a silastic chin implant adds forward projection to the chin thereby creating harmony and balance to the lower face.  Using the same incision, liposuction can be performed to reduce the fat and further shape the neck.  Excess skin, from below the chin, can also be removed through the same incision.  I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty (requires extensive tissue dissection, bone cuts and placement of metal screws and plates to secure the cut bone segments).  I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone.  In my opinion, you are a good candidate for chin implant surgery.  
Augmentation of the mandibular angles using a dermal filler (jaw implants have too many unwanted side effects IMHO) to add volume, angularity and flare to the jaw line.
Hope this helps
