What procedures should I get? Genioplasty? Double jaw surgery?

KJBostonJun 27, 2020
I am planning on a rhinoplasty and Invisalign soon. I don't like •How big my forehead is and the indented areas. It slopes back which looks unfeminine. •My face looks very flat and odd. •My philtrum is long and goes out in the middle looks darker all the time. •My bite is off and both sides of my jaw click.
