I am interested in figuring out what kind of procedures would help shorten a long face due to a narrow nose. I don't have a very defined jawline nor cheek bones. But I feel I have more cheeks in the lower part of my face. I'm not sure if a simple cheek augmentation would do or a filler to make my face appear wider or possibly a chin augmentation. I don't know if fillers or implants alone could solve this. Please help me find the best long term solution for this facial type. Thank you.

Lengthening or augmenting noses is certainly possible and is rather routine in my practice. Adding to a nose in a way that is structurally sound and as natural as possible requires significant effort and time. Discussion of the options and mechanisms of a revision surgery is...
Give yourself another 6-9 months to see what happens as healing progresses. It is unusual for a callous to form that rapidly. If it does remain or does increase in size a minor revision will correct the undesirable fullness.
