What are these weird chin lines when I smile called? (Photo)

Asked By:eb136153

Hello, I'm 20 years old and noticed that whenever I have smile in photos I get this weird chin lines like almost a fat deposit or protruding and I'm not sure if there's a term for it already.I've looked everywhere online for similar images but cannot seem to find it. I don't know if it has to do with excess face fat, but I am currently weighing 104 lbs (I am 5ft). I'd like to know if this is something I'm doomed to have to fix with cosmetic surgery or what alternatives I have for it.
