Would maxillofacial/oral surgery be a good option to address "witches" profile?

Question

I am looking for a drastic improvement in tooth visibility, better lip projection and to stop/ improve lower facial compression. I'd like a more masculine mouth, chin and jaw.I have a class II deep bite and I am currently undergoing orthodontic treatment ( braces) to improve teeth visibility / bite. However I don't think this alone will be enough to achieve the radical change that I am looking for. Would this surgery be a good option?

Thank you for sharing the photos. You have a case of bimaxillary deficiency (more dentoalveolar rather than skeletal base) . And you are absolutely right in that you will require comprehensive treatment to achieve dramatic improvement. This is likely to be a combination of presurgical orthodontics followed up with orthognathic surgery. Orthodontic treatment alone is likely to give you inadequate results and will involve a very prolonged period of treatment (years) . Seeing someone with special interest and knowledge in this area would allow better assessment and selecting the right treatment is likely to give you dramatic improvement.
