Pointy chin. What are my options to fix it?

Question

I hate my pointy chin, it’s really bad when I’m laughing or talking and in photos. What are my options to fix it? Much appreciated!

There are largely two options- surgery and non surgical methods.
Surgery- to reduce the projection shaving/cutting of bone can be done but this needs assessment including a lateral X-ray. Contour can also be addressed with implants, either silicone or other materials. Fat injection can be used but not the main method.
Non surgical- filler, lasers.

There are multiple options available to improve one's profile. From chin implant, genioplasty (cutting chin bone), injectables, fat grafting, and liposuction. All of these options alone or in combination can help improve the appearance of one's profile. You should be examined and your goals and options discussed at length. Seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon experienced maxillofacial surgery and facial plastic surgery. Good luck!
