I want to make my face visually smaller, more youthful and more feminine. Am I the ideal candidate for jawline shaving? (Photos)

Eclectic201003
I have a very long and masculine looking face due to my jaw and I was wondering if this would be suitable ? I want to make my face visually smaller, more youthful and more feminine. People have already advised me against it because apparently I will look like Gollum and it would make my face more longer looking. Is this true? I’m worried about my long midface as well, will jaw shaving ( and only jaw shaving) make my face appear longer ? Are there any non surgical options instead/ as well? ( someone recommended cheek filler)
