Chin Reduction?/Too prominent? (photos)

sunflower55
I underwent a mandibular osteotomy/setback around 5 years ago, and was told prior to the procedure by my surgeon that i might benefit from a chin reduction as well. I wanted to see the final result of the jaw surgery before making any decisions regarding my chin. My question now is whether or not my chin appears balanced for my face, or is it too prominent? I did lose some sensation in my lower lip and gums and was wondering if a soft tissue procedure might be able to help instead of bone?
