Question

I have a heavy square lower jaw that is wide, long and masculine.

I would like my jaw to be more petit so that my face has more of an oval shape rather than a rectangular shape.

Is this something you can advise me on?

Answer

To start with, I think the consultation using 3-D imaging and simulation can clarify what type of changes are more likely to achieve your vision of softening of the facial contours.

Among options for treatment, botulinum toxin injections, and chin contouring seem to fit your description, but it is all theoretical until a proper examination takes place.
