Curved and uneven jaw line? (Photo)

meack200Sep 3, 2020
How would I go about fixing this issue (as seen in the images)? I do not know anyone with the same issue so I don't even know what procedure to google. The right side of my jaw goes down further and I feel it emphasizes how much skinnier that side of the face is, when I like my left side better. Also as you can see from the side profile view, my jaw is not a straight diagonal like most. The bone curves down and then curves back up for the chin.

For my patients in their 20s and 30s, I usually recommend a non-invasive thread lift along with a jaw reduction. After removing a part of bone that was supporting your jaw skin, fat and muscles, they no longer will have the same support. You will need to have additional surgery to lift the...

While the directional movements of vertical jaw angle lengthening and vertical chin reduction is what you are demonstrating by your ideal example, you do realize that magnitude of change can not happen with your large lower jaw bone structure. That is too much change that neither your bone or ...
