I have no jawline and no definition! What's my best option? (Photo)

Question

by looking at my side profile you can see that my neck slopes down from my chin and there is no definition what so ever in my neck/chin/jaw line area. I have an overbite with my upper teeth (in other words my lower jaw/teeth are further back in my mouth and my upper teach are positioned further far forward. I think this may be why my chin looks bad in side profile.) I also have a wide square shaped face and chubby cheeks. What are my options? Jaw repositioning/chin surgery/neck Lipo? Etc

If
you have not had any orthodontic treatment, orthognathic surgery would correct
your bite and enlarge your Jaw. Chin and jaw implants would be ideal to enlarge
your lower jaw in a single surgery and not require any braces. The adequacy of chin projection should take into account several variables including sex, the effect of occlusion on lower lip position, the thickness of the chin pad, and the depth of the labiomental fold. When these variables are not considered, implant augmentation may result in a chin that is unnatural and too large, particularly in a woman.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

You have a vertically short lower third of your face. The chin is vertically short and the jaw angles are very wide. Your face could be reshaped by a vertical lengthening bony genioplasty, jaw angle reduction/shaving, neck liposuction and buccal lipectomies. This will help lengthen and narrow the lower third of your face.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

The photographs demonstrate fatty deposits in the neck, and a weak chin profile. Placement of a small Silastic chin implant will help significantly with facial balance and proportions, to enable  the chin to come forward to help with facial balance and proportions.  Liposuction of the fat in the neck can help with  giving more definition to the jawline and neck.
