Chin reduction: How can I make my chin smaller, or blend into my face better?

May 31, 2017
Asked By:chinFTW in Toronto, ON

My chin is quite large (projects horizontally) with an uneven crease. When I smile it looks like my skin is being stretched out across it way more than the average person- it looks harsh. A lot of space beneath my mouth. My entire face is asymmetrical and most noticeable in my jaw (and mouth I guess). Would I be a good candidate for a chin reduction, or some sort of jaw surgery? Can anything be improved without surgery (bone burring?)
