For some reason I can't see the pictures, but I am on my phone so as soon I get on my laptop I will see again!

Hi  , 

It looks female to me , so if I were you I wouldn't do it  .
Beside chin and jaw surgeries are so invasive , painful procedures , forehead and nose for example heal quickly and painless , chin and jaw take much longer and there is pain and also possible numbness remaining in the area for long time  .
Your lips are also looking female  , so why fix something that isn't broken  ?  :)

They definitely look very feminine to me! I don't think you need to do anything there

Hi,
It's very hard to make a call based on photos where only your chin is visible as, end of the day, what really counts is the overall balance of your face. Also, your photos are taken from very close which means they are certainly deformed.
With that said, as a person who did have her chin done, an almost 1cm reduction in height, I confirm that recovery of sensation can be very long so only do if you are sure you need it. Taking account of my initial remarks, your chin is not particularly square but it looks like it might be quite long?
Bon courage dans tous las cas!

It looks fine to me. I'm not an expert but id have to see the whole face i think to really know what I think.

I'm of much the same mind as the others. I don't feel your jaw is particularly masculine, but the overall effect might change that impression.

They look fine.  Low priority but if money is no object and you've got everything else wropped up, have them touched up as well..

Hugs,

Jen

One really needs to see the entire face to identify how it fits the whole YOU ...but based on that photo, I wouldn't touch it. Too much work is just as bad as not enough. Everyone carries masculine and feminine features and to over correct looks unnatural and exactly like, you had face surgery. Best wishes!
Ditto ^^___^^ We really need to see your whole face before we can effectively give you an honest opinion..

Hi,
What I can see looks very pretty so I would not make any change to your lower face.
