I have a weak chin and I have been thinking about it a lot, I am not good with things in general as normal guys are but I am artistic. Is it the same reason why people with stronger chins are considered to be more masculine (like actors) because they can do thing in a manly manner. I also think that because I talk less, the muscles of my chin haven't developed. My question is that whether it is because of genes or it's because of the environment we grow in?

Answer: What causes a weak chin That's a great question. There are several reasons for the "appearance" of a weak chin. Obviously the chin pad, bone of the chin can be weak or insufficient. These are the ideal patients for chin augmentation. You can also have a weak jaw/mandible. Some of these patients can get away with a chin augmentation to give the illusion that their chins are more prominent. Lastly it can be due to fat under the chin which obliterates the angle of the neck. Those patients need fat removal with procedures like lipo.

Answer: Weak chin? Without an exam your question cannot be answered. You will need to see an Oral/Maxillofacial surgeon to see if othognathic surgery, genioplasty or using an implant is best for your specific case. It should be noted that patients with severely weak jaws or abnormally functioning jaws may be better treated with other facial surgery (orthognathic surgery), although a chin augmentation may be an option at a later time. These patients should seek the advice of a plastic surgeon to determine which course is right for them. Here is some information to help you make this decision: Candidates for Chin Augmentation - Patients whose chin profiles are weak but have normally functioning jaws are candidates for Chin Augmentation. Many of these candidates have used injectable fillers in the past to strengthen the protrusion of their chins, but are looking for a permanent solution. If you are one of these patients, then you are a likely candidate for chin augmentation
