It’s like my jaw is drawn downward so it’s a diagonal line instead of a straight jawline. How can I fix of this ? Becuas my side and even my front profile is HORRIBLE

Majid Jamali, DMD · Answer

you may want to consult a surgeon who does orthognathic surgery. You need to have X-rays taken to see if it is a chin problem or a jaw one.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

You have a large overgrown lower jaw. Ideally this should be treated by setting back the lower jaw IF you have an underbite incisor tooth relationship. (orthognathic surgery)  If not then your only option is V-line lower jaw reduction contouring surgery.

Gerald Wittenberg, MSc, DMD (retired) · Answer

Your lower jaw is prominent in 3 dimensions; ie not just profile, but width and height. The recontouring of the jaw at the 'back, middle and chin' is necessary if you wish a softer look to the jawline. Typically called a 'V-line'; but modified for your facial balance to avoid a 'too small' look to the lower face
