I had a chin reduction to correct a witch's chin deformity, as I disliked the look of my chin when I smiled. After the surgery my chin looked droopy and crooked, and appeared as if it had too much soft tissue. I had a revision done, but was left with a chin that was even worse than before. My face has now become saggy and very heavy, and my chin looks like a droopy ball of soft tissue. It is crooked and slides to one side when i talk and smile. I am extremely depressed.

Your approach should consider and increase in the fullness of the 'midface'/cheeks to yield a good balance with the lower jawline (eg cheek implants). Ideally, one does not 'reduce' definition; but rather increase contours. The images do not allow further comment but go one step at a time
With a combination of excessive bone and soft tissue a submental approach is needed to reduce the overall size of the chin. In your case the soft tissue chin pad is just as much at fault as that of that of the bone.
