really? yesterday I was at the surgeon. and he openly talked. he said: mr. xxxx if I saw on the streets as you are right now I would not say that you have a weird looking face or a profile which would cause negative reactions. Of course me as a surgeon and dentist now aware of your situation can see just only a lil bit difference in your face compared to others. in everyday life he said believe many ppl would not recognize it that much. you are now too much into that topic so yöu focus a lot and see that difference. he said when we move back your jaw about 4mm your under lip would become less than it is now about 2mm. so thr change in your profile is very less. he said honestly think sbout it. there are ppl like yOu with worse looking profile in comparism. He said think about it. he said you dont look too bad as a men. haha well anyway still very unsecure what to do guys
my mind is exhausted guys. feel not so good to be honest.

Gregor Samsa:

I had a small underbite as well - my teeth just touched and I didn't give it much thought until last year.  However, as I got older, my nose seemingly got bigger.  It was the skin thinning with age.  The surgeon told me that it will probably get worse: "only a trained doctor like me can see your recession, in 10 years time everyone else will".  Even though I was not fat, I decided to lose weight and lost about 10 kg - going from about 18% body fat to 12% in the process.  My face basically collapsed and I aged like 1 year for every kilogram.

tldr;
Your face is kind of chubby.  Lose weight.  It will make your recession much more obvious and may show you what the future holds for you.
Millimetres are kilometres on the face.  I was only advanced 5-6 mm and the difference has been huge (for better or worse).

ryu1986:
i mean is my underbite that much obvious? you mean losing weight means it gets more obvious?

Gregor Samsa:
It's more obvious in the last picture you posted. You need to consult with more surgeons and maybe even consider seeking treatment abroad if the expertise in your own country is limited. You're lucky in the sense that the upper part of your face looks really good, but there is definitely a noticable discrepancy between your jaws.
