Best options to look into for my protruding chin? (photos)

February 9, 2023
Asked By:hexkraken in Metomen, Wisconsin

I am at a good weight and still had this extra skin under my chin even at my lowest weight. I've had a plastic surgeon tell me that it's not fat, it's just extra skin. Wondering if just taking away the skin under my chin would fix how much my chin protrudes, or is this a bone/jaw/muscle issue? I regularly get botox to my masseter muscles because they're huge and get very tight. I want to address this issue the right way rather then do a bunch of small solutions. Thank you
