I used to have an underbite which I was able to get corrected years ago. My front jaw was move forward, but not my lower. I believe because of this might be why my jaw is still so sharp. It appears almost masculine, and my chin is also wide. Would V Line surgery be my best bet or maybe reduction genioplasty?

If you like the slimmer side then you can have a mandibular angle reduction on the wider side. This is done from inside and there is no scar. The surgery is done in the office with sedation anesthesia. Some profile photos would be helpful as well.

Hi, I do a lot of this jaw surgery. You may have a strong masseter muscle for sure, but if it is the bone, we can reduce it through the inside of your mouth. At your young age this shouldn't be a big risk for sagging in the future at all. Watch our videos to learn more.
