Poor facial asymmetry - Jaw shave or genioplasty? (Photos)

April 28, 2025
Asked By:allyvaldez in Young, Arizona

Hi there, I know my facial symmetry is poor, but I don't know what exactly would improve it. My jaw is very small following from my ear to my mid face, at that point there is a bump and the rest is very round. My chin has a ton of fatty tissue but is also pronounced bone underneath. I’m assuming if I reduce the size of my chin & jaw I will eventually need a nose job too. I’m ready to begin consultations now & have the operation this year.
