My lower face (jaw and chin) seem crooked. Is there any procedure that can be done? (photos)

Question

I noticed while looking at pictures of myself that my chin seems to point more to one side and my jaw is different from my left side to the right. Some people say they don't notice but I notice it and it bothers me. What procedure can be done

Thank you for your pictures.  In my opinion, a sliding genioplasty to correct your chin asymmetry would be reasonable.  You need to make sure that your jaw does not have this same asymmetry.  I would visit with a board certified oral surgeon or board certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

No one's face is completely symmetrical; however, there are conditions that result in a noticeable facial asymmetry for which people seek correction. In addition, there are several procedures to correct facial asymmetry depending upon the cause.You will need a complete examination, clinical photographs, as well as radiographs and a cephalometric analysis to determine the cause of your facial asymmetry.My  suggestion would be to seek consultation with a board-certified  maxillofacial surgeon who is very experienced in orthographic surgery and in particular the correction of facial asymmetry.Best of luck!
