Orthognathic surgery and sliding genioplasty or chin implant and mandibular angle implant? Which best suits my case? (Photo)

2013, Visited an oral surgeon to discuss my weak lower jaw. I was told I would need double jaw surgery and a possible sliding genioplasty. Malocclusion was found. 2014, wisdom teeth extracted. 2015, started braces. Planned surgery is 5-7mo. away. Is this the right choice? Would implants be a better option? I know there is less risk with implants, but what would be best at achieving a "better" profile? This has been emotionally taxing. P.S. Planning nose and ears for a later time.
