Asked By:kehogan in Green Bay, WI

When my face is resting my moth is open. To make my lips meet I have to strain them. I have a receding chin. I am wondering what procedure would do best to fix this. I played around with a plastic surgery app and I created what i would want my profile to look like. I would like to know what steps needed to be taken to create this. Thank you!
