I really would like to know some possible choices on how to fix my chin indentation safely and permanently (Photo)

Question

This indentation occurs whenever I smile and it occurs on the left side of my chin. I am positive that it might have been a scar from a fall or something in my childhood. I hope that I can get this removed safely and permanently. Thank you for your time!

You're up close photo so difficult to evaluate. We can see squat issue involving an asymmetrical chin appearance. Sometimes, permanent smoothing of somebody's score tissue can be achieved with microdroplets Silikon 1000 injections. It completely depends on your examination. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

You will need to be physically examined.  If you have fallen, you may have injured your muscle, particularly if it changes when you smile.  This may be a simple repair or may be more thorough.  That is why a physical examination is needed.

Best Wishes,

We need more information. Have you ever had chin surgery?  This would include genioplasty, chin shaping, a chin implant, or similar?  Does this only occur when you fire the muscles?
If only with muscle firing you can consider just botox which should stop that, albeit temporarily.  If there is more we can do a scar revision to adjust the shape of the chin and the chin muscles.

Correcting a dynamic contour irregularity on your chin is highly complex and will inherently be difficult.
Because the contour irregularity is dynamic and related to contraction of your muscles of facial expression correcting this is not at all easy or straightforward.
Different providers will have different approaches, and none of them are guaranteed to work.
 Treatments could include direct surgical, excision, Botox injections, injections of fillers, etc., etc. 
You’ll need to see what local providers come up with but recognize it is not an easy or straightforward problem to fix.
Best,
