So basically, I'm aware that my chin is small. I know it is. But I'm wondering if I could get opinions on the state from another set of eyes, my problem is, I hate the contours of my neck, I had platysmaplasty a year ago, and while it somewhat improved the contour from chin to neck, I do not feel like I am the person I could be.
