Is my mid face or lower third more elongated than ideal? What could I do to improve my appearance? (Photo)

Asked By:thesatishard in San Francisco, CA

20 year old male. I think I have a receded and narrow chin that could see improvement by means of an implant or genioplasty (I'm not sure which one would be best). I feel as though there is marked asymmetry of my jaw, even though my occlusion is normal. I am concerned that widening my face or jaw would make my eyes appear more close set than they already somewhat are. Also vertical lengthening angle implants may make my face too long. I see opportunity for improvement in my jawline.
