I think altering the bone would be difficult as I have quite a small square shaped face & wouldn't want to make my face appear any smaller. My chin sticks out quite a lot when I smile & I have lots of soft tissue on the end which I can feel. I would like to achieve a less square face when not smiling and a less witchy chin when smiling.
