Is my lower jaw slightly recessed? Don’t like how small it is compared to the rest of my side profile. (photo)

Question

It looks like my lower jaw is more recessed compared to the rest of my side profile? I have two premolar extractions on the top teeth when I was younger. Braces on both top and bottom, I think to line them up.

Based on your singular photo, I would not say that you have a recessed jaw appearance, or a weak chin. Consider we asking your question with better photographs, or consider describing what you are looking to achieve. Thank you for this question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

The photograph presented is inadequate in order to make a decision, especially with a beard in place. If you have a recessive chin profile, you may be a candidate for a small chin implant, which can be placed under local anesthesia to augment your chin forward for better facial balance and proportions.
