I had a prominent chin so I was advised that removing some of the bone in order to shave it down and contour to sides. Would be best. Outcome: I am unhappy it looks bigger than before a lot wider and fuller. My chin muscles are damaged when I talk or pull funny mouth movements my bottom lip won’t pull down in the middle.
