How to correct recessed jaw, double chin, and profile aesthetics: do I need Botox, fillers, or orthodontics? (Photos)

Asked By:5150anon in Austin, Texas

I have a recessed chin (and TMJ). Attached are photos of me with a closed mouth and another where I'm jutting my jaw forward so my teeth are on top of each other (no overbite). I need to find a plastic surgeon but don't know if I should get botox in the jaw or filler in my chin? How can this best be corrected? Will botox "slide" my jaw forward to ease the double chin and proportion my profile? Or do I need an an orthodontist? Is the jaw asymmetry potentially from overactive muscle on one side?
