Yes, it's possible to achieve a narrower face, and the approach depends on the cause of the widened appearance. It may require both orthognathic surgery and plastic surgery, or just plastic surgery, depending on the specific situation.

I'm 22 years old and my height is 6 feet 2 inches, but I've always felt like my face is way too small for my body. It's pretty noticeable and people often comment that I look like a kid, which is really embarrassing. I'm worried about it and Id love to know if theres anything I can do to make my face appear bigger or more proportionate. Right now, it's just too small and thin. Any advice would be really helpful.
