Start by adjusting you camera angle, all the similar problems that I see is caused by the camera being too low and shooting into the chin. The camera lens should be at the same height as the eyes, then tilt it down to frame the subjects, by doing this you'll hide or make less prominent the shadow on the chin. Shadows are important, that's what gives modeling and depth and the only way to control it is by correctly placing the key light.
With subjects with prominent double chin the camera should be even slightly higher. Also by getting the subject to look slightly upward the chin will stretch and make it almost disappear or become less noticeable.
Read some books on portraitures.
