I do not like the way it sticks out when I smile and become pointy. thank you!
It appears that you have a skeletal bony problem with a protrusive chin. The Surgery to reduce the chin can be performed from inside the mouth. A wedge of bone is removed then the bone is positioned slightly superior to support the soft tissue. It is important to maintain the mentolabial fold.
Hello. Based on your photograph, it seems that the bony chin and your overlying soft tissue contribute to the problems you describe. Specifically, the bone is giving you excess length as well as pointy projection to your chin while your soft tissue including your mentalis muscle is giving you the dynamic « witch’s chin ». A board certified surgeon experienced with the structure and dynamics of the chin and how it influences the lower lip is your best choice to address your problem. They would need to do a bony chin reduction and resuspend the overlying soft tissue in order to minimize the dynamic contraction deformity when you smile. In my opinion, it is important to perform the surgery from the outside below the chin and not through the mouth in order to minimize weakening the lower lip support which I have seen to often from other surgeons. Best of luck !
