I have a slight overbite but a receding chin that i believe is hereditary and also an adams apple. I am really insecure about my profile to the point it bothers me everyday. I sometimes get headaches just from biting down so hard during my sleep with my slight over bite. I have researched chin/neck lipo , reconstructive jaw surgery and also other multiple things.
