I have a round face, and would like to know what procedures I can get to give me a more oval shape? I understand there is Botox that can be injected to the massager muscle, but is there anything more long term that can elongate my face as well-perhaps a chin implant to go along with it? I know of buccal fat removal as well, don't know if that will also benefit me in conjunction with the other procedures. I have attached 2 photos of my face and the 3rd is my desired fascial shape.

The resorption, if truly present, is only to a small degree and not progressive. The surgeons skill has more to do with proper size determination, precise placement, and avoidance of nerve injury. Good luck!
Being an option, chin implants have serious disadvantages, specially in
the mid and long term, patients are rarely happy with them after 5-6
years, all are out by then or later.Consider the chin advancement by means of sliding genioplasty, the advantages are:-lifetime procedure, no more revision...
Good question. During the surgery it is important that surgeon be able to see and feel the skin and its contour. We allow a short beard but not a heavy full beard.
