In looking at your side profile, you chin within a normal range.  With that being said, sometimes adding a small implant in a chin like yours can be beautiful.  For a situation like yours, I would recommend you see a surgeon and undergo imaging morphing where they can make your chin slightly larger on the computer.  You can look at the new profile and decide if that is an appearance that you are seeking.

A small chin implant can be inserted through sub-mental approach to give more chin projection, and give the illusion of a less projecting nose due to the aesthetics of facial balance. Chin implants are composed of Silastic, can be placed under local anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure.
