This is exactly why I've never obsessed over what my chin looks like or whether or not my students' chins are flat. If there's a problem that interferes with tone production, I think its up higher than the chin. If the lips and mouth are supporting a free and responsive production, the chin will probably be fine and is in any case irrelevant.
