I have been to 3 plastic surgeon consultantions, and they recommended a chin implant. So I figured since I an going under the knife why not get closest perfect jaw that I can get. The first two photos are of me. The other two is a model that I desire my end result to look like. The surgeon has advised an anatomical implant to get the same chin as the model, as well as buccal fat reduction and botox to try to narrow and contour the jaw to get it to look close to the model. Can you please advise?

Answer: Unhappy with my chin and jawline. Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures using dermal fillers, facial implants (cheek, chin), liposuction and/or facelifts for over 30 years. Following the beauty principles outlined in my book on face and body beauty, men look chiseled and handsome (the male model example you included) with angularity in the cheeks, chin and mandibular angles. From the photos, your cheeks are flat anteriorly (in the front), there is excess fat around the cheeks and lower face, the chin is weak as are the mandibular angles. This combines to create an elongated rectangularly shaped face. The nose is wide and large which further distracts from an angular face. The following procedures would create a more ruggedly handsome face. Cheek augmentation with cheek implants to add angularity to the cheeks and mid face. This would be combined with liposuction to reduce the excess facial fat to further define the cheek shape. Chin augmentation, using a chin implant, to add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. I have performed many Chin Augmentations using chin implants for over 30 years. From the photos, your chin is weak. A weak chin creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy and the lower face look short that de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a double chin. Chin augmentation using a chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty. I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone. In my opinion, you are a good candidate for chin implant surgery. Augmentation of the mandibular angles using a dermal filler (jaw implants have too many unwanted side effects IMHO) to add volume, angularity and flare to the jaw line. Hope this helps.

Answer: Jawline The type of facial tissue (ie fullness/thickness) is important when looking at 'model' images. In your case, you have fuller tissues which require a more 'angular' contour to achieve those appearances. The combination of a genioplasty and jawline strip implants along with thinning/liposculpture of the overlying soft tissue will move you in the right direction.
