Hi, so i got a chin implant for a really weak chin about two years ago. From the side i’m happy with it— there’s a huge improvement in my side profile but from the front i absolutely hate it. My chin is extremely pointy now & i hate the way my jaw line looks. What can i do to improve it & try to get it more similar to my second picture i photoshopped if it’s even possible? I want to lower my jaw line & square out my chin more. New chin implant, jaw implant, any ideas or suggestions? thank you!!
