The areas adjacent to your central chin could be built out with implants to create a straight jawline. Chin implant surgery has long been touted as a simple operation that reliably gives good results.
Your situation is unfortunately too common whereby the chin is augmented only; and creates an imbalance in the jawline; especially viewed frontally. You can complete the jawline recontouring by augmenting the 'middle and back' of the jaw. Due to you growth pattern, you need consider the entire...
