👉 Barred chin, also known as a baritone, is a condition in which the lips are covered by a hard, thin layer called a barb, rather than a true chin. This condition typically occurs due to an abnormality in the development of the facial bones and muscles that support the jawline, causing the lip to be pushed back toward the teeth. Barred chins can result from various factors such as genetics, trauma, or certain medical conditions.
