I think a recessed chin would be a chin with a very high mentolabial angle, and a recessed jaw would be a downswing of the mandible. I might be wrong tho

Recessed chin is when the chin itself is positioned further back than it should be, but the overall jaw may still be in a normal position
while recessed jaw is when the entire lower jaw (mandible) is set back compared to the upper jaw

Is this just a recessed chin or is something wrong with the jaw?

A recessed jaw involves the entire lower jaw being set back, causing both the chin and jawline to appear recessed.

A recessed chin is a milder form of jaw recession, where only the chin is set back.

You can still see the jawline with a recessed chin

I'd like your opinion on whether I have a recessed chin or jaw?.I shared my pictures from the side profile on top.

- Chin is short and recessed
- Ramus is shorter than ideal
- Your upper lip protrudes. Visit an orthodontist to fix your dental problems.
Thanks man

Would i need bimax, genioplasty or just a chin implant?
Bimax. The other two are cope and are not the best for your health. A recessed jaw reduces quality of life and worsens your dental health.

I was talking to a fellow org member and he recommended an implant that advances the jaw AND also gives chin projection.do you think such an implant could work?

It could work. You should discuss with a surgeon
