I have a low hyoid bone, that's why I have so much fat under my chin. Any surgery that can lift the hyoid bone? (photos)

Question

Is there such a surgery?

Your single picture is a bit insufficient to make a quality assessment. 95% of people who seek chin and neck liposuction tend to have a primary problem being related to having a small mandible. This typically presents with a perimeter double chin, and overbite dental occlusion, and profile pictures the upper lip will have more forward projection than the lower lip and premature jowls. 
Soft tissues or fat distribution is usually normal.
That said removing fat correctly with well done Liposuction can give a nice improvements on some people especially young people with good skin elasticities and those who have enough fat to make a difference.
I’m not sure your hyoid bone is causing a problem for you.
You can always have a few in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons.
Best,
