Chin ptosis? What can be done? (Photos)

Question

What can be done about my chin? Im 34 female. Have trouble closing my mouth, my bottom teeth show a lot and my chin pad looks like it droops. it makes my face look longer than it actually is. When i gently push the chin pad my lips close and my chin looks shorter and more "harmonial" Im not sure if i have recession from my side view. This is genetic, ive always had the issue, it has definitely got worse with age and weight changes. Looking for a permanent solution

It appears that your chin projection in the horizontal plane is adequate. I would recommend a CT to determine if the vertical height is correct. In some cases of vertical excess, the chin height can be reduced, making it easier to bring the lips together. Overall, you have an attractive chin.

It is very likely, based on these photos, that you may benefit from anterior neck lift and chin augmentation. However, decision of this kind can be made only on the basis of in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in these procedures. Good luck.
