How Can I Improve My Chubby Cheeks and Weak Chin?

Q: Dr. Eppley, My desire is firstly, to reduce my chubby cheeks. In the picture where I have the white strip behind my head Im anywhere from 12-15% body fat (middle distance track athlete), yet my cheeks are still chubby, and Im convinced that it is due to genetics as my fathers side tends to have rounder faces. I want my face to be slim so my facial structure, cheekbones, and jawline show. Secondly, I would also like to correct my receding/weak chin. Lastly, Id also like my face to appear forward projecting rather than narrow, with a stronger jawline.

A:’Fortunately’ you have a weak chin as the best soft tissue cheek reduction results come from concurrent treatment with chin augmentation, particularly that of a sliding genioplasty.
