Ideally the best procedure would be a judge advancement augmenting the mandible behind your molars.

Augmenting the chin only will deep in your labio- mental fold.
Conservative horizontal augmentation with modest vertical augmentation may work but it’s a trade-off because any anterior advancement will worsen your Labiomental angle.

Excessive chin projection creates but which’s chin appearance.

Best,
