Would a wide goatee help to fraud mandibular plane angle?

I have big asymmetry between left and right side profile. My right side looks much more downward grown. A much worse mandibular plane angle then my left.

I have measured gonial angle etc, and it is within ideal range. Maybe the right side is a bit higher than left. But not much. But in real life it seems so much higher because of the asymmetery of the mandibular plane angle.

Also my chin also drops down a bit. Its soft tissue that drops down. It’s genetic.

But I’m wondering would growing a wider goatee help to fraud this. Here is 1 picture of my right side which is much worse. One version is normal and one is with a painted in ”goatee”. Would this be a good fix?

mandibular plane angle is bone, not hair. a beard can shape perception a bit by adding contrast and covering soft tissue, but it won't change the underlying angle. if your asymmetry is minor, a short boxed beard or goatee can disguise it, but a "fraud" won't fix genetics. focus on keeping bodyfat low, work the masseter if you're lacking definition, and keep your grooming tight. for severe asymmetry only surgery actually changes the angle. optimize what you can, accept what you can't.

mandibular plane angle is bone. you can't "fraud" it with hair. a beard/goatee can tweak perception by covering soft tissue and adding width, but it won't change the angle. if one side is lower, keep your beard symmetrical and trimmed; a short boxed beard or van dyke will hide asymmetry better than a random wide goatee. also lean out so your jaw isn't buried in fat and train masseter/mew for definition. severe asymmetry = only surgery (genioplasty, ccw) fixes it. accept genetics or save for proper fix.

Thank you for feedback. Can I send you one thing in private chat?
