Am I a candidate for jaw surgery? 25 year old female (Photos)

December 31, 2022
Asked By:D.Fram in Worcester, Massachusetts

For as long as I can remember I had an even jaw and chin up until the end of puberty when my facial symmetry has shifted. My chin feels and looks pointed to one side but my smile isn’t too uneven. I’m a 25 year old female with no history of any facial injuries. I would jaw surgery be the answer or perhaps an implant?

You already have a strong jawline but your chin is a little short. A genioplasty would also improve the labiomental fold, decreasing the shadowing...
