Jaw implants/bimaxillary surgery/chin wing for recessed jaw? Looking for a more masculine, angular shape. (photos)

seany23Oct 14, 2016
Have decided to finally go through with getting surgery done, I have a very narrow (maybe recessed as well) jawline. Even at a very low body fat my face has no angularity and a weak profile view. Based on the pictures what should I be looking for in regards to surgery, implants, bimax, chin? I have attached a photo of what would be my ideal from front on view. Would be willing to travel across Australia or even overseas if needed to find a surgeon who has done similar procedures before. Thanks
