Please critique my face.

[Lynn]

Hi everyone. I'm new here.
For a long time something was bothering me regarding my facial appearance. Not that I think I'm horrific, but just something is "off" and out of balance with the rest of my face. My chin has a structure to it, but its just small and recessed, IMO. I also hate the sharp divot between my lower lip and chin.

I've included a side shot. Do you think I might benefit from a chin augmentation? I drew a line in a similar pic from the tip of my nose down and my chin seems WAY off and set far back, not even close to the line. I don't like the idea of chin implants, so I'm thinking a sliding genioplasty might solve the issue. I'd like to stay away from fillers in this area because I don't want to lose the chiseled look. I just would like it projected more.

Thanks in advance...

Anyone?? I really would like some feedback and input before I come to a final decision. Thank you.

You are very beautiful. I don't think you need anything. Women can "get away with" having a smaller chin, women ideally can have a chin that is slightly less than the forehead/glabella area.

If you post a front photo and a better side photo and even an oblique it may be easier to get suggestions. I think you look beautiful in this pic though.

It is supposed to line up around where your glabella is:

As a man with aesthetics education -since childhood had prizes in drawing etc, I want to tell you how beautiful you look to me. I analyzed your profile with Golden Proportion http://www.atrise.com/golden-section/ and I totally agree with Marianne that "you don´t need anything". If you augment your chin profile you woud tend to a masculine looks. Your chiseled profile is perfectly compensated: sometime mother nature is the best sculptor and I think it made a splendid job with you, so leave it as it is. As far as the profile pic you shared it is just fine, and the divot you critique is a sexy feature. This curve adds protuberance to your chin already.
I could analyze more if you add more pics from the front, Lynn.

Well, thank you everyone! Part of the conflicting views I have stem from. the conflicting views of a facial implant surgeon in VA and my dentist. One thinks I would benefit from a slight vertical lengthening only and the other believes my chin protrudes a tad too much, especially when I smile.

I noticed there are pictures floating around of Ms. Jolie before and after her chin surgery and she had a very similar chin to mine (weaker with a deep mentolabia groove) before her stronger and smoother profile. I tend to like the look of stronger chins on women, as long as it doesnt look as if they've been taking anabolic steroids.

I'll try to upload more pics soon.
