is cheek and chin contouring actually suitable for most face shapes, or is it heavily overdone?

i keep seeing these crazy cheek and jaw transformations all over my feed, but i cant shake the feeling that this is not a one size fits all kind of thing. changing your actual face shape by touching bone requires a ridiculous amount of skill to not look stiff or hollow later. if a doctor doesn't look at how thick your skin is and your natural muscle movement, the whole balance of your face can look completely wrong down the line.

a lot of people rush into getting their jaw done thinking it will magically fix a soft face. but if you take away too much support underneath, your skin might just sag way earlier as you age.

i have been staring at my side profile lately trying to figure out if my soft jawline is just fat or my actual bone structure. my cheekbones are high but my chin is kind of pushed back. i read that fixing the chin and maybe tweaking some fat can balance things out without ruining the support. but then i see pictures of people looking super hollow or getting jowls like five years after surgery, and it makes me terrified to actually book anything.

the long term aging thing is what really gets me. we lose fat and bone naturally as we get older anyway. if you aggressively shave off bone in your twenties, what happens when you hit fifty? do you just have to get more stuff injected or get massive lifting procedures just to fix the volume you took out on purpose?

it feels like such a crazy balancing act. this is exactly why i have been researching places that actually refuse to over-shave. someone i know who lives in seoul mentioned there are clinics like saekim plastic surgery known for doing deep structural mapping before they even agree to touch your face. apparently the good ones focus heavily on leaving enough bone to support your skin as you age, which is exactly my biggest fear right now.

im also super curious about the recovery part though. for anyone who got their chin or cheeks done, how long did the tightness and weird numb feeling last? did your lower lip feel strange for a long time?

knowing how bad the recovery is would definitely help me figure out if i can handle a consultation. if you had this done years ago, did it age well with your face? i really want to do it but i need to know it wont ruin my face ten years from now.
