Nose or chin, or both?
I do not think that your chin requires surgery. The chin appears weak in proportion to your nose which, I agree, is too strong for your face. I would propose beginning with rhinoplasty to create a more feminine, softer nose. In your case, rhinoplasty would produce a dramatic improvement.

Chin enhancement and/or nose job
There are several options available for this type of scenario. A rhinoplasty (nose job) will reduce the overall projection of the nose and can be done as a stand-alone procedure under general anesthesia. The chin implant can also be performed as a stand-along procedure, but under a local anesthesia. A weak chin profile will always make the nose look more prominent. Only the chin implant can give it better facial balance and make the nose look less projected. A...

Chin augmentation and rhinoplasty
Chin augmentation and rhinoplasty are two great procedures to do together. The key to aesthetically pleasing and well balanced features is to have the nose and chin harmonious to your over all bone structure.

Computer imaging to help decide between rhinoplasty and chin augmentation.
The best way to answer that question is with the use of computer imaging. Have images done with either the rhinoplasty and chin augmentation done separately and then done together. Seeing is believing so to speak. My guess would be that the rhinoplasty will make a bigger difference than chin augmentation and be more effective in creating a more feminine appearance.
