When I smile my chin sticks out and my mouth kind of sinks in. I really don't like how it makes the shape of my face look. It's only really when I smile, when I'm not smiling my chin looks quite balanced with my face in my opinion. This is why I thought it might not be a good idea to get a chin reduction, but maybe I am wrong. Is it maybe because my teeth are far back? What can I do to stop this from happening? Thanks

Hello,If you are unhappy with your chin, it can be reduced vertically and set back just a little to decrease any prominence you are concerned about. Also if need be you can have a sub mental/cervicofacial liposuction. Dr. Farole
Usually the results of a sliding genioplasty will lengthen the the lower face and provide improved balance as a recessive chin always appears short on frontal view. Measurements can be taken off a CT to determine if the chin length is excessive. If the distance between the lower teeth and chin...
This is a normal occurrence but some patients may not like it.
The best option in your case may be the use of neurotoxins
to weaken the muscles creating the pulling.
See a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in this
area for a detailed evaluation. Best wishes.
