Lengthening short chin and jaw without jaw surgery? (Photo)

poutylips
The picture is not of myself but her before photo resembles my condition very closely. She had jaw surgery to get a longer chin. Can this result be achieved by other means? I need some vertical height in my jaw and chin and a little chin projection as well. Do I need to combine sliding genioplasty with a small chin implant to achieve this? Thank you Btw - I don't want to have jaw surgery because my teeth are well aligned and I don't want to mess up my bite.
