Protruding mouth doesn’t look protruding from a side profile? Procedure recommendations pls (Photo)

lreed174
I’ve (27) always had the look of a “protruding mouth” or monkey mouth due to the excess skin folds around my mouth. When I turn to the side however, my mouth doesn’t look that far out, and in fact my chin looks receding. Looking into the types of symptoms that come with protruding mouth, I’ve certainly developed TMJ and mild sleep apnea over the years. What would be the best procedure for correcting these “monkey gape” lines that I think are aging me?
