I am a 34F and my chin is slightly larger and pointy in my front profile but looks ok but sometimes when I see side photos (that someone else took) I am like what the heck is going on with my chin to be protruding like that! Is a genioplasty the best thing to be done? I get Botox and mentioned it and they didn’t think my side profile looked all that odd. I have had masseter Botox before (it’s been a while) but didn’t take a photo see if this helped.
