Does my chin appear to be weak?

#1 Post by MagicFanLG2 »

This may be the wrong message board to ask, and if is, I'm terribly sorry. I can't find anywhere else online that will answer this question. I feel like my chin looks weak, but people keep telling me it's not. I know my neck is fat, but I'm working on that and I think it could help. Thanks.

It's stronger than mine is now, and I've had jaw surgery. :)

I think it looks just fine, it's definitely in the normal range.

No, it does no look weak to me. I would think of weak as recessed and your chin is not like that at all.

The reason why I feel like it is recessed is because it doesn't protrude to my lips, which is what I read your chin is supposed to do.

It's definitely not weak or recessed at all. It looks like its lined up with your bottom lip and it has a curve to it, it's not flat or too far back or anything. Looks pretty "normal" to me. :)

Chin looks fine, and I think it would look even stronger once you are able to streamline your face a bit, if you know what I mean and I say this in all due respect of course.

Thanks guys! Like I said earlier, reading that the lips are supposed to protruded to the lips freaked me out. Had me thinking something was wrong with my body.

Chin is very prominent and strong. However, your jaw line is quite weak.

I knew that, but I think it's due to my weight, which I'm changing!
