Sliding Genioplasty vs. Jaw Implants for a More Prominent Chin?

In my country(Ireland),I have only been able to find surgeons who offer chin implants. They do not have any experience with either jaw implants or sliding genioplasty. From what you can tell based on my pictures: am I likely to see better results from sliding genioplasty and/or jaw implants? My priority is a more prominent chin. But if it's possible & suits my profile, a more prominent jaw line would be great also. I'm looking for the best result possible. Cost & discomfort are secondary
