How Can I Make My Face More Angular?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I’d like to make my face more angular. I thought that a three level facial augmentation could be my best option. Is it a good idea or does It risk too look “too much” for me? I’m not sure about brow bone augmentation btw. I’ve had double jaw surgery and rhinoplasty in the past and some facial fillers and I’m quite satisfied about the results. My face Is more harmonious than before. This is like an extra to bring some angularity and I’d like that to be natural. Thank you!

A: Thank you for sending your pictures. You are correct in that to make your face more angular ideally it involves all three levels. Technically the upper and mid face are the most needed in that regard as they lack projection unlike your lower drawl. Because of your prior jaw surgery major strides in lower jaw shape improvements have already been achieved. You’re also correct in that a ‘little bit’ in each area goes a long way and it is the composite overall augmentation that makes the more angular face change. Anytime you do two or three levels of facial augmentation almost always one has to be most cautious about excess  projection as opposed to when one has a singular major facial level deficiency.
