You do appear to have some recession of your chin. This can be augmented with fillers or an implant and this should help to balance your profile.
Dear Jeleif,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from chin augmentation. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
When you lift your tongue up the jaw moves slightly forward and down creating a total jawline augmentation effect with both modest horizontal and vertical dimensional changes. Only a custom jawline implant can replicate that type of lower facial change.

The two approaches to treating tightness and discomfort after a sliding genioplasty is either subtotal reversal or a soft tissue release with interpositional grafting. Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages. But a subtotal sliding genioplasty reversal is no more risky than the first...
The key is often the 'density'/thickness' of the skin/soft tissue. Male tissue has more fullness/structure so one would not expect that type of change. Risk of course has to be accepted, but that is reasonable
