I have a slight overbite and I'm curious if it can cause or at least worsen this deep crease.
Answer: There are several causes for deep labiomental groove. If I am getting your question right, you are mentioning 'labiomental groove'. this groove is defined as a groove between lower lip and chin. There are several causes for deep labiomental groove. Sometimes it is caused by micrognathia, and malocclusion ( your overbite may be one cause.) In some cases it is caused by hypertrophy of chin bone, or hypertrophied muscles. To define the definite cause, you should visit your surgeon.

Answer: Atypical chin deformity It is a widely spread idea osseous genioplasties consist of only sliding genioplasties, which is absolutely untrue; with just sliding the chin bone you can address successfully the issues and wises of no more than 30% of the patients seeking chin surgery. There come the multidimensional osseous genioplasties, those aiming to modify structurally the chin bone by means of increasing or decreasing the dimensions of one, two or three dimensions of the chin. Actually there can exist weird combinations in which the case needs shortening certain axis and enlarging other/s. You are one of such peculiar, challenging and (professionally) interesting cases. Your atypical facial profile at the chin and the deep labiomental crease is due to a combination of the following: -extremely short vertically chin dimension -too prominent and oversized anterior chin projection -(I guess, frontal and oblique views needed) too broad and square horizontal width Therefore you'd be a case for vertical enlargement (bone graft supply is bound here) and anterior deprojection / reduction (never ever sliding backwards, which leads to a double chin deformity) and eventually horizontal narrowing. Eventually we can consider a strip grafting to smooth the labiomental crease, but it is very likely with just the aforementioned custom genioplasty may suffice; intraop assessment and decision-making is bound here. You may wonder about the effect of only correcting the depth of the labiomental creas... in your case a total disaster, an "en bloc" look and too masculine. Feel free to request additional information and advice, with full set of images if possible.
