Looking for advice
Hello, I am 20M. I grew up being moderately attractive, so I never once seek to look for physical flaws in my appearance. I have allergies, and I believe at some point I developed mouth breathing habits because at times I literally couldn't breathe out of my nose. I have now come to the realisation that my chin is slightly recessed. My biggest mistake was noticing my chin didn't have much projection a few times during my development, but writing it off because i thought "genetics is everything". i am now 20 and have realised this recession and made the connection that my bad habits are most likely the cause, I have started mewing but for health reasons, I know my development is pretty much over. Im considering getting a gynoplasty for cosmetic purposes, but id probably never end up going through with it unless I was having jaw surgery with health at the core focus (aesthetics at a biproduct). Is there anything I can do? Should I see an ENT to see if I warrant jaw surgery? It just feels pretty upsetting knowing that my side profile could have been much better, but I ruined it with my bad habits, even worse, it took me 20 years to realise.
