After V-line surgery, chin is reduced and jaw has no angles. Can reconstruction help?

After v-line surgery reduced my chin is almost absent and my jaws have no angles. I look odd and ugly. Is rib or bone grafting an option. Can any surgeon who has done jaw and chin reconstruction help?

It would be very difficult to give you meaningful advise without in person consultation. Second opinion consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in face/neck surgery is recommended. Good luck.

There are only two procedures that can visibly decrease the length of the face, vertical chin and forehead reduction. As least for the lower face you don't need V line surgery you need vertical wedge reduction bony genioplasty.

I think that V-line surgery is not indicated in your case. Your chin may be a bit long which may benefit from a reduction procedure. Profile photos would be helpful.
