My face is very similar to the boy in this picture. My jaw has basically grown too far backward and downward instead of forwards and outwards. I have shallow cheekbones and my lips drop down a lot at rest. However I do not have a gummy smile and I would say the excess maxilla growth is between my nasal bone and the bottom of my nose. Can this be addressed via jaw surgery?

Re: Can this type of face be fixed?
The profile can certainly be fixed with double jaw surgery and genioplasty. However the nasal/midface height can't be changed. If this area of your face is vertically long it is likely genetic.

cheek augmentations can improve facial balance.
