Am I a Candidate for Orthognathic Surgery? (photo)

My main complain is gummy smile and slightly long maxilla. Also, my chin is receeding and my lower jaw is small wich creats jowels, double chin and lack of a defined jaw line, and also makes my profile looks a little convex. My question is,in mild cases or overbite, which I believe my case is one of them, does braces & chin implants help to make the desired skeletal changes, especially in maxillay hieght, or do I need orthdentic surgery?I have no compains about bite or breathing
