Receding Chin / Weak Jawline

A receding chin, also known as retrogenia or microgenia, occurs when the chin appears to retreat backward from the face, giving the lower jaw a weaker or less prominent appearance. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

1. Genetics: Certain individuals may inherit a predisposition for a receding chin, contributing to its appearance.
2. Underdevelopment of the lower jaw bone: Inadequate growth or development of the mandible can result in a weaker chin structure.
3. Hormonal imbalances: Fluctuations or imbalances in hormone levels can impact facial bone structure, potentially leading to a weak jawline.
4. Certain medical conditions: Conditions affecting bone growth or development, such as hormonal disorders or syndromes, may be associated with a receding chin.
5. Environmental factors: External influences like poor posture or dental issues can also play a role in the development of a weak jawline.
