Not happy after mandibular setback for class III malocclusion. I still have a flat face, show more gum and look jowly? (Photos)

5 months ago I was going to have a Le fort 1+ genioplasty but I told my surgeon I was scared of the nose widening so I had a mandibular set back. I seriously regret not getting my top jaw moved instead. My mid face is flat, I hate my thin upper lip and my short nose to lip length and my jowly neck. This probably sounds ridiculous but I want DJS to get everything proportional. Or can I have a genioplasty after LJS? My surgeon suggested malar implants, will they make my nose look smaller?
