mask for long narrow face? (mouth breather)

mask for long narrow face? (mouth breather)
We're having a terrible time with leaks on every mask we've tried so far for my dad. For example, on the AirFit F20, he measures large because of the length between his nose bridge and his chin.  However, the mask leaves huge gaps on the sides at the bottom because his chin is narrow. We started out with the Vitera and have a Quattro that came home with us from the sleep lab. So far, the F30 hybrid mask has worked the best, but we've had a lot of trouble with leaks on that, too.
