What is this "lump" below my lip/on my chin and what would be the best method to just have a smooth chin? (Photo)

Question

I have always had this lump on my chin it's not hard or anything, it's more like empty space or a fat pocket, it's hard to explain. It has become more noticeable over the years. Could it be that my chin is becoming more recessed. What would be the best method to get rid of it?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Do you have a pretty significant dimple that’s fairly high up on your chin and I have a feeling that you are related.
I suggest consulting with oral surgeons, plastic surgeons or facial plastic surgeons in your community and see what each one has to say.
My best guess is that whatever is causing the dimpling is the primary issue.
It would be a good idea to bring pictures of you as a child to see how it’s changed over time.
It would also be good to know if there’s any history of trauma or injury or previous procedures done in that area.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom MD
