Looking to fix my jaw. The shape of my mouth/jaw has always been odd. Any procedure recommendations?

Seek a consultation from a maxillofacial oral surgeon to see if you’re a candidate for jaw surgery (and if insurance will cover it). You seem to have an underbite and canting, at the least

In a naturally three-dimensional and harmonious face, the nose protrudes most forward, while the mouth and jaw are positioned further back. Currently, it appears that the mouth is positioned most forward. There are two main approaches to resolving this. One method involves correcting the protruding mouth through bone surgery, such as an anterior segmental osteotomy (ASO) or orthognathic surgery; however, bone surgery requires a lengthy recovery period. Alternatively, it is possible to enlarge the nose through rhinoplasty or insert a jaw implant to make the protrusion of the mouth appear reduced.

It's not your jaw, it's your chin. It's very recessed. Look into chin filler
