I have a long face, that I would like to be shorter in length. I also lack projection of my chin/lower jaw which I would like an improvement of my profile. As well as an asymmetrical chin from the front view. I prefer to avoid a lifetime of fillers and prefer something more permanent. What is my best option? Thank you for your time.

Good day. Asymmetrical is the rule!. No face is symmetrical. Some times is really evident, then a surgery can help, but I really think, that is not your case. You looks "normal" and great.
There are a variety of procedures that will help with facial proportion improvement. The two most important would be rhinoplasty and frontal hairline lowering. A sliding genioplasty (you don't need double jaw surgery) and submental liposuction would also be if benefit. Computer imaging is needed...
You have a horizontally protrusive chin and a large soft tissue chin pad. This is best treated by a submental approach where the bony protrusion can be reduced and the soft tissue chin pad adjusted to the smaller size of the chin bone.
