Jaw surgery vs genioplasty - I'm not sure if a slight overbite justifies an expensive surgery for minimal increase?

Ryan Favinger
I have always been self conscious of my profile, I noticed that I seem to have a weak chin and possibly a recessed lower jaw and protruded maxilla that makes my side view look like a fish. I noticed that my lips dont exactly align and told I have a slight overbite but not sure if a slight overbite justifies an expensive surgery for minimal increase.
