Are there non surgical options for making my chin less pointy? (Photos)

Easygoing266160Oct 8, 2025
Hello I find that my chin has this strange buldge, it’s not too bad when my face is resting but when I smile I notice it a lot on my side profile. I was looking into Geniplasty but I was unsure if it was more the skin/ fat pad in my chin giving me the look rather than bone. It is very squishy particularly on the bottom around my jaw line. I was wondering if there was any non surgical options available first or if there wasn’t would geniplasty be the best option? I also find that when I smile it is crocked but I’m unsure if that’s just my mouth or my chin

We do this frequently. The chin is reduced including any contributing structures - bone, muscle, soft tissue, skin. We should be able to get a meaningful improvement.

Dear Sensible, From your photos, you appear to have a mild to moderate chin retrusion (a slightly recessed chin), and your morphed image shows a very realistic improvement in facial balance. Yes — a sliding genioplasty could help achieve the result you’re after, as long as your teeth and bit...
