I'm wondering if the lack of any jawline visibility is excess fat, excess skin or just pure genetics? (Photo)

Hi, Your right side (2nd photo) has more jaw angle definition than the left side (1st photo). However the photos are not accurate. The sunlight is coming from the right side of the photo, so when you face the sun, a shadow can be created behind the jaw angle. In the left profile the sun is shining diagonally from behind and directly into the jaw angle area which will prevent a shadow from forming. The lighting and photos are not symmetrical, so it is difficult to make any assessment based on them let alone over-analyzing a persons appearance based on single photos which may be unflattering. Sometimes when taking a photo, your eyes may be closed just as it is being taken, and it looks funny, but that doesn’t mean our eyes are closed all of the time. Maybe the photos don’t show your concerns clearly. Hope this helps in some way. Good luck.
