As not only a working hairstylist but a person with a similar face shape as you I can advise to definitely keep some bangs. Even if they're longer and side swept. The "perfect" face shape is oval and one's haircut should help present this shape as well as possible. I, like you have a longer forehead....I like to call it a fivehead, (Your forehead and chin area should be somewhat similar, with your features centered in the middle) so I must always wear some bangs to bring my "spoon face" back into balance. With the exception of your forehead being longer than one would like, you have a perfectly shaped face! I have a very square jawline so I must also wear softness framing that so that it takes the squareness off.
If you want to grow the fringe section out, I would advise trying to sweep them forward and over to the side as opposed to back away from your face as you have them in this photo. It looks, however that your growth pattern may limit you from getting your hair to cooperate. From what I am guessing about the growth pattern, you may try to sweep the front across the forehead and back towards your ear by parting it over your right eye and wearing it that direction. Just my professional opinion.
Hope that is helpful!
