Procedure to reduce platysma muscle size? I have a recessed chin, and under my chin is some sort of large muscle. (Photo)

Aesthetics1265
I am having trouble with my neck/chin/jaw separation. Currently I have a recessed chin, and under my chin is some sort of large muscle. I can flex it by pressing my tounge into the roof of my mouth. I believe this is causing my neck to look like it is fat/undefined even though I am at about 10-11% bodyfat currently. I am have trouble finding information on this condition, and would like opinions on what currently could be the cause, and possible procedures to correct it.
