Surgery for jawline and uneven cheeks? (Photo)

Question

My jawline isn't very prominent and often disappears into my neck, and I have a lot of fat around my chin area in general (though I'm pretty skinny). I'm wondering what I could do to fix this or if I should do anything at all, as my jawline isn't very attractive looking (it's very thin and goes straight up to my ears). I'm also worried about my uneven cheeks, is there any (safe) way to make my bigger cheek smaller?

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The photographs demonstrate a weak chin profile, for which  A chin implant can give  added projection and width to the chin to help a facial balance and proportions. A better set of photographs are required to make any determination about cheek implants, but in some occasions, a unilateral cheek implant can be added to the weak side to build up the more flat cheek.

You have a very steep mandibular plane angle which is why your jaw angles are high and your chin is recessed. To improvise your entire jawline a chin advancement with a sliding genioplasty and vertical lengthening jaw angle implants would both change the slope and improve your chin projection and  jaw angle prominence and width. While you mention that your cheeks are too big, they appear more flat and under projected in the pictures. I assume you mean they are too wide??
