Is this chin ptosis? Are there any non surgical options? (Photo)

My chin protrudes from the side and kind of looks like it has extra meat to it. I don’t have an underbite. I’m wondering is this considered chin ptosis and what are the options to improve the way this looks. Also are there any non surgical options?

I would look into having a genioplasty! This is a permanent procedure that would add length to the bottom of your face, creating more facial balance. It would create a stronger jawline and softer chin. A genioplasty would improve the labiomental fold, decreasing the shadowing you have under your...

Once the bone has completely healed from the first surgery, it is possible to have a reduction genioplasty. However, being a revision and having had jawline reduction, you are at a slightly higher risk for complications, and it may not be possible to get your chin 100% back to its original...
