I had lower jaw surgery that brought my jaw forward 12 mm, 1 year ago. Since the surgery my face looks a lot more slim which makes me feel like I look older. My chin/jawline is much more sharp and pronounced plus I’ve lost some volume in my cheeks. I’ve had half syringe on each side of cheekbones and temples for total of 2 syringe and Botox in forehead.
