I once thought that to bring my face harmony, I needed to treat first and foremost my receding chin. I also hate my gummy smile, deepening nasolabial folds, nose to a degree, etc etc but the mock up morphs I'd create never looked right even just extending my chin the slightest. I now question if I really do have a recessive chin and all or if there is an underlying issue. Like a protruding mouth. Would you agree I have a protruding mouth? If so, can I treat it without full on jaw surgery?

In many ways implants and the sliding genioplasty offer similar advantages and create similar issues.
Forward augmentation are your chin whether through facial skeletal surgery or an implant is going to worsen your labial mental angle.
Sliding genioplasty can be advantageous and correcting...
A hyperactive chin usually responds well to some botox. In the non-smiling view you have a feminine and attractive chin. I would not recommend any surgery.... just neurotoxins.
