Why does my chin look so pointy?

Question

It has always looked this and I hate it. But what makes it like this? Can I get surgery to fix it? If so, explain the process?

Hello dear

Thanks for the question and provided information as well.

My recommendation for you is a personal consultation with a certified plastic surgeon to be able to make a complete evaluation and suggest the procedures that can fulfill your expectations and provide you with the best results.

Good luck :)

The chin is composed of skin, fat, muscles, and the mandible bone. A full set of facial photographs are required to make a determination about being a candidate for chin implant.  For many before and after chin implant examples,  please see the link and the video below

Without seeing a picture of your chin no definitive answers can be given. But most likely this is due to the shape of your bone. What type of bone modifications may need to be done to reshape your chin depends on what the rest of your chin looks like.
