Hi! So I unfortunately inherited this chin (which everybody on my mother's side has) It's like a big ball of squishy tissue that gets all distorted when I smile. I've had trouble finding anybody with a similar chin (who got it fixed). Can I change it and get a normal smile?

Thank you for your query.I am sorry to hear you are still unhappy following your surgery. I would recommend you take this up with your surgeon. Your nose/upper lip/chin line shows an improvement.Kind regards.
To get an accurate assessment of your face you need to submit non-smiling pictures as well as show pictures of your bite. The question is whether you chin/jaw asymmetry needs to be improved by improving your bite relationship or whether it can be addressed by just chin and jawline surgery.
Although you don't give us a full profile, it appears that your chin is undersized. If a chin implant is inserted, it will give support to the lower lip and you should a more normal appearance.
