My mouth is not relaxed when it is closed. Should I get chin surgery? (Photo)

Asked By:ryan_starflower in Baltimore, MD

Whenever I close my mouth, I have to hold my mouth closed. My mouth is not relaxed when closed. The only time my chin is relaxed is when my mouth is hanging slightly open which I do not do. When I sleep, my mouth hangs wide open and it is so ugly! Should I look into getting chin reduction surgery?
