I’ve been thinking about this and wanted some opinions from people who’ve actually paid attention to jaw structure IRL.
Which do you think looks worse overall: a slightly recessed mandible but a decent/forward chin, or a good mandible projection with a slightly weak or recessed chin?
I get that the mandible affects jaw width, ramus length, gonial angle, etc., while the chin mostly affects profile, but in real life (not just side profile pics), which one tends to hurt someone’s look more? Front view and ¾ especially.
Can a strong chin really make up for a weaker mandible, or does mandible development always matter more for looking masculine? And how much do things like facial hair, body fat, soft tissue, or posture change how noticeable this even is?
If you had to pick one flaw to have, which would you rather deal with and why
