Chin reduction options - 48 y/o Female. Surgery? Lipo? (photos)

May 21, 2017
Asked By:KarenInNB in Newport Beach, CA

I have a bulbous chin and I think my lower jaw is also set back. (MANY years ago I believe my dentist called it a shallow bite(?) My top teeth cover my lower teeth) Unless I make a conscious effort to keep my jaws together, at rest my jaw is slack which makes the corners of my mouth turn down & causes marionette lines. I just tried Juvederm and am pleased (see the photo captions). What type of doctor should I see first and for what procedures? Could this be covered by insurance? Thanks!
