Chin Implant Vs. Jaw Surgery to fix overbite? (photo)

ks49
I'm 24 and I think I have a weak chin/jaw and have an overbite (but no pain). I went through orthodontics as a kid but for my orthodontist never tried to fix my overbite. Today, after 5 years, I went to another orthodontist. He basically told me that I would be a lot more attractive if I got my overbite fixed, which made me self conscious. Do you think I need either a chin implant or surgery to fix my overbite? They sound really expensive & the jaw surgery sounds like a lot of recovery.
