Hello Doctors! I’m worried there isn’t a flat implant large enough to bring out my receded chin to my bottom lip line for even proportions. Is there a flatter, NON-bulbous or knobby chin implant on the market? Or would I have to pay extra for a custom smoother chin/jaw implant?

When I push my jaw forward it looks much more proportionate to my face but still not enough.
