My jawline is ok up until my chin - which is either too short or has too much fat underneath. Whenever I have a picture taken from the side (and I’m not posing like in the last picture), especially from a lower angle, my jawline sags downward. I was wondering if chin lipo or chin implant/genioplasty would be a better fix for my issue. Any advice would be much appreciated! I also have badddd TMJ if that’s relevant. I’ve considered masseter Botox but heard it could give me jowls - could that help too?
