how can i get rid of this deep mental crease in my chin where there is a very large visible indentation that doesn't balance on my face and pops up very noticeably. i've been insecure about it my whole life
Answer: Chin reduction It appears that you have a deep mentolabial fold and prominent chin. When smiling, your chin soft tissue pad drops below the mandibular plane. Surgical correction of this problem usually requires lengthening the chin and reducing the chin prominence. Additional photos would be helpful.

Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Chin issues I suggest having multiple in person, consultations with oral surgeons in your community. There are several issues going on with your mandible. Your chin has excessive projection. At the same time, it appears you have a dental overbite collusion with a lack of projection for the back of your mandible.

Answer: Labiomental fold The soft tissue relies upon the underlying 'hard tissue/bone/teeth' for contours. You appear to have a lower jaw whereby the lower teeth are 'behind' the chin point in profile. Often this relates to the lower jaw being 'overclosed' and the jawline being more 'square'. It is best to consult an orthodontist and Maxillofacial surgeon for this assessment. Failing that, one can consider a genioplasty to alter the height and prominence of the chin relative to the 'fold'/lower lip. It is quite a common issue
